Preseason Ranks: Top 100 By Yahoo! Sports Staff Feb 8, 11:46 am EST

Colorado breakout star Carlos Gonzalez finished the 2010 campaign as the No. 1 player in the Yahoo! fantasy baseball game. But as the door opens on a new season in 2011, CarGo doesn’t even warrant the first pick on his own team according to the subjective scrutiny of the Yahoo! fantasy brain trust (pictured below). As the saying goes, past performance does not guarantee future returns … although we’re still representing plenty of love for the Rockies outfielder.
The real object of our affection, though, is once again Albert Pujols, who rarely fails to deliver a top 10 roto return. He, despite one dissenting opinion, tops our debut list of the top 100 fantasy players for ’11. The list is ordered by the overall top 100 composite ranking of our four experts, with the remaining players that received votes rounding out the bottom of the list.
We’ll make sure to update this list periodically throughout the coming weeks as spring developments further shape the fantasy landscape. In the mean time, digest these rankings and then let us know what you think in the comments section below. Let the debate begin!
