Top 100 Players: Part one

            So today marks a day were I try my most ambitious project to date for the blog.  While this may be more fantasy relevant it can also be looked at as my top 100 players in baseball.  Why is this ambitious?  Well I also have their projected stats that I have calculated using a few formulas to see what the player will end the season stat wise.  Yes there is some personal choices here not just who I think is best and who’s not in the top 10 but some of the stats.  Some players are playing above a pace they’ve ever played at so I will do what I can to make it look as close to my what I see in the stats.  Basically to make things simple I’m going to post the stats as if this were a 5x5 fantasy baseball league (BA, HR, RBI, SB and R for hitting and W, K, SV, ERA and WHIP for pitching).  So here we go my top 100 baseball players from this point forward, position by position.

Do to the length I decided to split it up into 3 parts and to make things easier to read.
