This article is about two outfielders with similar ADP who are completely different players in terms of their fantasy production as well as their skill set. Although there is an abundance of riches at the outfield position every year, it is still very important to nail your picks in the middle-to-late rounds as thats where all of the potential league-winning value resides.Enter Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (early ADP 201, OF51) and [...]

Over the years, Ive done hundreds of mock drafts, maybe even thousands. However, as someone relatively new to formal writing about fantasy baseball, Ive never been part of an organization that ran a slow mock draft.I recently took part in Rotoballers Dynasty Mock Draft, and boy was it ever SLOW.

Its never too early to start looking toward the fantasy baseball season, so Im here to continue RotoBallers position-by-position rankings analysis series for points league and head-to-head (H2H) formats with the incredibly deep outfield position. There is a seemingly neverending stream of useful bats, but there are still clear chokepoints where the risk portfolio thickens.

Outfield is a unique position in the fantasy world. The best of the best reside in the outfield, with our consensus top two picks and nine of the top 25 overall players making this list.

Kyle Schwarber just finished his age-25 season in which he managed 26 home runs, 64 runs, 61 RBI, four steals, and a .238 batting average. On the whole, Schwarber played only 137 games due to the Cubs lineup of cycling starters. Joe Maddons penchant for rotating through his roster meant that Schwarber saw only 510 plate appearances despite raising his walk rate to 15.3% (6th best in the league among qualified leaders) and maintaining a .229 ISO (28th best). The combination of power and on-base [...]

The Chicago Cubs avoided salary arbitration with outfielder Kyle Schwarber on Friday by signing him to a one-year, $3.39 million deal. Schwarber played in a career-high 137 games last season and hit .238/.356/.467 with an .823 OPS, 26 home runs, 61 RBI and 64 runs scored. Injury concerns and a high strikeout rate keep Schwarber more on the cusp as a top-50 fantasy outfielder, though, as his power is his only real calling card for fantasy owners.
