Fantasy Fox: Top 120 hitters right now
Here's my current listing of the top 120 hitters in five-category leagues (homers, RBI, runs, steals, batting average).
These rankings shall remain fluid throughout the regular season ... which, thankfully, begins in less than two weeks.
For injury reasons, neither Mark Teixeira nor Alex Rodriguez made the original cut.
