Fantasy Baseball: 2010 Top 20 Third Basemen Rankings

Here's my second look at fantasy third basemen rankings.

1. Alex Rodriguez - Easily the top of a shallow position.

2. Evan Longoria - Possibly the #1 keeper third baseman.

3. David Wright - The power outage of 2009 probably moves him to the third round, which should make him a great value.

4. Kevin Youkilis - Love his 1B/3B flexibility. Hard to imagine a scenario where he's not used at 3B though for fantasy owners. Should hit at a high average and drive in a ton of runs.

5. Mark Reynolds - He's going to take a step back, but 35 HRs and 15 SBs are a strong possibility.

6. Pablo Sandoval - The Kung Fu Panda will really bolster you average.

7. Ryan Zimmerman - The last of the second tier of fantasy third basemen.

8. Aramis Ramirez - Health concerns keep him out of the top six.

9. Chone Figgins - If you go with Figgins at 3B, you'll need to make up for his lack of power.

10. Michael Young - He's not the sure thing he once was, but is still a decent option in a shallow position.

11. Gordon Beckham - Beckham is playing second base for the White Sox, though he should still put up 3B numbers.

12. Jorge Cantu - Gives you 1B & 3B flexibility. Decent pop and a good RBI producer.

13. Ian Stewart - He'll give you plenty of pop though is average leaves plenty to be desired.

14. Kevin Kouzmanoff - Ditto.

15. Miguel Tejada - Making the move to 3B for the Orioles. Still has SS eligibility and a decent bat.

16. Jhonny Peralta - Has 3B/SS eligibility, which is great. His power numbers should bounce back.

17. Placido Polanco - He's manning the Hot Corner for the Phillies now. Just being in that offense should elevate his game.

18. Mark Teahen - Has 3B/OF eligibility. I think the move to the White Sox will be a favorable one.

19. Chipper Jones - He'll give you 400 ABs if you're lucky, but they should be at a .310 batting average or better.

20. Mark DeRosa - Should give you decent pop. Not as position flexible as he's been in the past.
