Unlike third base and shortstop this year, outfield is extremely deep. In 2010, the average top-40 fantasy outfielder hit 22 homers, stole 20 base, scored 88 runs, knocked in 82 RBIs and hit .285. This speaks volumes to the depth of the position.
While first- and second-round talents such as Braun, Crawford, CarGo, Holliday and Kemp are exciting to own, you’re probably better off filling your infield spots early in the draft.
The likes of Alex Rios, Jacoby Ellsbury, Drew Stubbs, Ichiro Suzuki, Andre Ethier, Jay Bruce, Hunter Pence and Nick Markakis can all be drafted much later in the draft, and offer valuable production. Here’s the top 30...

2010 was the year of Car-Go. The former Arizona and Oakland farmhand led all outfielders not named Jose Bautista in runs (111), home runs (34), and RBI (117); finished second among outfielders to Josh Hamilton in batting average (.336), and added 26 stolen bases, making him the most prolific five-category producer of the season.
In fact, Gonzalez was the first player to post at least 35 HRs, 110 runs, 110 RBI, 25 steals and a .330 batting average since Ivan Rodriguez recorded a 35/116/113/25/.332 line in 1999 with the Texas Rangers.
So why is Car-Go just the number 10 player on our 2011 big board?
