Fantasy Baseball Dugout

Anytime you come across a stud player who plays 81 games a year in the thin air of Coors Field, Fantasy Baseball Dugout recommends that you draft him, early.

With that said, it’s no surprise that Matt Holliday is our top-rated outfielder to start 2008. Coming off an MVP-caliber season in 2007, Holliday is a lock in 2008 to hit over .300, hit around 30 homeruns, score and drive-in over 100. The guy even steals a few bases. Fantasy Baseball Dugout highly recommends taking Holliday in the top four in your 2008 draft.
