Interesting Player Comparisons

In looking over and comparing some players a little farther in the draft, it's interesting to see just how close some players in fantasy points........Based on 2007 numbers:

**(Outfield) Most sites have Ichiro Suzuki in their overall top 20, but Ichiro averaged 2.70 fantasy points per game last year which computes to roughly 16 fantasy points per week. As compared to somenoe like Soriano who averaged 3.13 pionts per game, Ichiro only scored about 2 to 3 less points per week but over a season, it adds up. You can get Ichiro early, or wait around and get Shane Victorino in the 10th round and get the same production. I can't really see Ichiro better a .353 batting average. Here are some other outfielders and their averages:
Soriano-3.13
Nick Markakis-3.1
Cory Hart-3.00
Shane Victorino-2.71
Carl Crawford-3.18 (in almost everyone's top 15)
Tori Hunter-2.9 (monster year last year)
