Fantasy Fox: Early listing of the Top 100 baseball assets for '15
FOX Sports South invokes a way-too-early look at the Top 100 players for the 2015 fantasy baseball season -- citing 5x5 roto leagues only.
It's worth noting: Per usual for the month of January, we haven't performed a single mock draft yet (still milking football season for all it's worth) ... and likely won't do so until after Valentine's Day.
