The Top 3 Third Basemen In Fantasy Baseball

November 19th, 2011 | by admin |

Fantasy baseball can be a tough game, as it depends on players’ real statistics, meaning it can be frustrating watching top ranked players put up disappointing numbers. However, this season third basemen were plagued with injuries, making it a particularly tough spot for fantasy baseball owners. A lot of ranks changed, and some remained the same, leaving the question: who are the top 3 third basemen in fantasy baseball?
The number three third baseman would have to be Evan Longoria. After coming off a tough oblique injury in 2011, he eventually bounced back and put up great numbers. If he had been able to stay a bit more healthy, his numbers may have been staggering this season. His combination of home runs and RBI makes him an excellent third baseman.
The number two third baseman is Adrian Beltre. Beltre dealt with a hamstring injury this season, but still put up fantastic RBI numbers with 105 and home run numbers with 32, while still putting up a nice batting average of .296. His first season with the Rangers was a success, and he immediately slipped into a comfortable middle of the lineup power spot once the season got underway.
The number one third baseman is without further ado: Jose Bautista. Bautista can play third base and right field, and his amazing power and RBI numbers make him the best third baseman in fantasy baseball. After hitting 54 home runs in 2010, he bounced back to hit 43 home runs in 2011, along with 103 RBI and a batting average of .302. Jose Bautista is unquestionably the best third baseman in fantasy baseball.
