Fantasy Baseball 2014: Tiered Outfield Rankings

Over the next few days, I'll be releasing my tiered positional ranks (with my 2014 projections included). The purpose of these rankings is to show readers where there are major talent drop-offs within each position. In the outfield, Mike Trout sits alone in the top tier and the drop-off from him to tier No. 2 is pretty substantial -- and the guy who leads the second tier is fourth in my overall rankings.
