Week 6 Fantasy Baseball Player Rankings
There have been a handful of superstars that have simply had miserable starts to the 2013 fantasy baseball season. In fantasy, there is nothing worse than starting a player on a cold streak, because a player going 0-20 in a week can be devastating for fantasy owners.
Los Angeles Angels OF Josh Hamilton has been downright awful this season. The superstar is only hitting .208 and has just two home runs with nine RBIs. Needless to say, Hamilton has not lived up to par this season, so expect him to be missing from any fantasy player rankings until he starts to come around.
On the other side of the coin, there are several young players that are playing too well to think about benching. Baltimore Orioles 3B Manny Machado was moved over to the hot corner before the start of the season, but he has played outstanding this fantasy season. He has climbed up the rankings in recent weeks and will no doubt be one of the most reliable starters at third.
Also San Francisco Giants SS Brandon Crawford and Milwaukee Brewers SS Jean Segura are also tearing up the fantasy world this season. Both players were severely ignored this off-season, but have since become All-Star options at the position.
To help you fill out your lineup this week, here are my complete Week 6 fantasy baseball player rankings.
