| V Guerrero | 3.7 | A Rios | 2.1 | D Span | 1.5 | R Raburn | 0.8 |
You will notice quite a few outfielders who are severely downgraded due to their low batting average and low production numbers, despite hitting a lot of home runs. You will also see that speedy outfielders do very well in fPAA, because a large number of steals is often worth several fantasy points in the standings, provided you do not have a large number of steals to begin with.
Pitchers coming tomorrow.
