Register for The Fantasy Man FEED HEREThe Fantasy Man's 2009 Third Base 3B Rankings
Alex Rodriquez, NYY - Still The Fantasy Man's overall, best, most consistent fantasy player
David Wright, NYM - Top 6 draft pick depending on preference
Miguel Cabrera, DET - Look for Cabrera to increase his AVG
Evan Longoria, TB - Risky this high up but he can be Braun-like or Beltre-like
Chipper Jones, ATL - Can he stay healthy? Probably not, but he's worth a spot on your roster when he is.
Aramis Ramirez, CHC - He won't hit 40 HR, 25-30 seems like a good estimate with solid all-around numbers
Russell Martin, LAD - Played 11 games at 3B so he qualifies in some leagues with 10 games or more, but I wouldn't draft him as your primary 3B
Garrett Atkins, COL - Solid, consistent, and durable
Aubrey Huff, BAL - Should be a decent value in drafts this year with 30+HR power
Jorge Cantu, FLA - 2008 was a bounce-back year and he's still pretty young
Chone Figgins, LAA - Comeback player of the year vote in 2009 with 50+SB potential!
Chris Davis, TEX - Rookie with superstar potential but 88K in 295 AB is a little silly
Ryan Zimmerman, WAS - 2008 was a blur, look for Zimmerman to step it up in 2009, plain and simple
Alex Gordon, KC - There is still time for a break out and 2009 being his 3rd full year could be it
Mark Reynolds, ARI - If he didn't hit .239 with 204 K, he'd be a superstar in the making! Has 30+ HR/100+RBI power
Mark DeRosa, CLE - Position eligibility at 2B/3B/OF and solid all-around player
Hank Blalock, TEX - Another comeback player of the year vote in 2009
Edwin Encarnacion, CIN - I'm beginning to think he's not a .300+ guy......
Carlos Guillen, DET - Eligibile at 1B/3B. If he can stay healthy, he'll have a typical Guillen year minus a few for age at .290/15/90/15
Dallas McPherson, FLA - 35+HR potential will get a chance to play everyday in 2009.
Troy Glaus, STL - Big power if he can stay healthy, will be a great value late in the draft
Mike Lowell, BOS - Fenway is built for Lowell and a healthy season could show 2007 like numbers again
Kevin Kouzmanoff, SD - Still young to prove he can be a .300 hitter with 20+HR power
Adrian Beltre, SEA - A healthy Beltre will give you the same lame ole production, but solid if you draft late
Ian Stewart, COL - Also played 12 games at 2B, has 20+HR power if he plays everyday
Melvin Mora, BAL - Getting older but still a solid value pick at the end of the draft
Casey Blake, LAD - Gives the same production every year and you can grab at the end of the draft or on wire
Blake DeWitt, LAD - If he plays everyday somewhere, he could jump up this ranking above Encarnacion
Andy LaRoche, PIT - Maybe a 20+HR guy but hasn't been able to put anything together yet
Pedro Feliz, PHI - He's okay, waiver wire material if you are desperate
Scott Rolen, TOR - He can't stay healthy
Ty Wigginton, HOU - Same as Rolen but always gives you 20 HR
Bill Hall, MIL - Most athletic guy on this list, but he is not a good hitter fantasy wise, plus Mat Gamel breathing down his neck!
Mat Gamel, MIL - The Brewers to hitting prospect, needs work on defense before he's called up!
Brian Buscher, MIN - Good hitter for BA but not much power

What round for Atkins this year do you think?
I'd say Atkins would normally go sometime between the 6th and 9th rounds. There is not a lot of hype surrounding Atkins right now after a somewhat of a mediocre season, and by that I mean under 30 HR and under 100 RBI. I can't see Atkins slip past the 9th right now but its still too early. I'd say the safe round to grab Atkins at a good value is late 6th at this point!
