Yankees: The Top Five Hitters For Your Fantasy Team

Yankees fans who are fantasy players usually want to have Yankees players on their team. But, they might be skeptical about taking them. This list will help you in making those choices.

As a Yankees fan, when it comes to fantasy I know I am always afraid to take players from my favorite team. It makes me feel like if they are my top performers, I am asking for too much from them, but if they don’t perform, then I am even more upset with them and get disgusted.

Yankee fans who are fantasy owners do not get discouraged and give these players time.  They will produce, not everyone can get as hot and stay as hot as Gary Sanchez. So give them time and more importantly understand the way these guys work. It is 162 game season; some guys get hotter at different moments like Mark Teixeira did not get hot until May.

The season is a marathon these guys are running, not a sprint, so getting hot early on can do damage in the next few months. Even in Josh Hamilton’s MVP season, he had a disastrous month.

Let these players soak into their roles and become familiar with their positions before being too upset not to have any of the Yankees in your lineup. Also, if your favorite Yankee does not make this list that never means not to draft them. It is crucial always to have fun and draft your favorite player. These players will help you stick with your gut and do what all Yankees fans love to do, win.

All these fantasy point totals will come from the scoring system of 1 point per run scored, RBI, single, walk and a stolen base, while a strikeout is -1. Each double is worth two points and triples count for three while every home run is worth four points.

So, let’s get started.
