Three great outfielders battled mercilessly for the top spot in our 2011 fantasy baseball rankings. Each has his merits, and all should be selected in the first round of your drafts.Ryan Braun is the most highly regarded, topping most sets of rankings at the outfield position. He had a down year for power last season, never managing to go on a big home-run binge. However, he's a five-category contributor, hitting over .300 while notching at least 100 runs and 100 RBIs in each of the last two seasons. He's also hit 57 HRs and stolen 34 bases over that two-year stretch. At 27 years old, he's as rock solid as they come.
Carl Crawford is another play used to being selected high in fantasy drafts. Throw out a 2008 season hit by injury and Crawford has hit at least .300 with more than 10 HRs and 45 SBs in every year since 2005. Oh, and in 2004 he only fell short of that feat in average, where he hit "just" .296. In Boston, Crawford will be surrounded by great hitters and should enjoy another fantastic statistical season.
