Fantasy Baseball: Top Fantasy Outfielder Prospects for 2011

1. Domonic Brown, PHI-Brown dominated in AA/AAA in 2010 hitting .327-.391-.589 with 20 HRs, 68 RBIs, 17 SBs in 24 attempts and a 74-37 K/BB rate. I don't like the way the Phillies handled Brown in 2010 as they should have sent him back to AAA after Shane Victorino returned from the DL in August. Brown did not play much in Philadelphia and could have used more at bats in AAA to close out the season. There is talk that he will start the season in AAA, and I am on the fence whether that will happen or not, but if it does, I don't see it lasting much past early May. Brown is another must add in keeper leagues and a late round pick in mixed leagues in 2011.


2. Desmond Jennings, TB-Jennings had a bit of a disappointing season in 2010, as he hit .278-.362-.393 with 3 HRs , 36 RBIs, 37 SBs in 41 attempts and a solid 67-47 K/BB rate. Jennings should replace departed free agent Carl Crawford in left field in 2011, and I expect him to hit for a good BA and steal 30+ bases in a full-time role. Jennings is a must add in keeper leagues and a late round pickup in mixed leagues in 2011.

11. Fernando Martinez, NYM-I wrote about FMart here. Similar to Michael Taylor, Martinez needs to regain his prospect status by staying healthy and hitting for more power in AAA in 2011.
