September Outfielder Rankings
Here are some final-month rankings. I’m a little short on comments, since I’ll be hopping on a plane awfully early Monday morning. Please try not to get too bent out of shape if your star player isn’t listed where you like ... anything can happen in a month.
As always, players are ranked by position and then combined into an overall top 300 list.

In general, I’ve moved Rockies hitters up a bit this month. That’s because 20 of the team’s final 32 games are at Coors Field.
With no return in sight yet for Victor Robles , the Nationals opted to give 2021 seventh-round pick Jacob Young a chance on Sunday. Young had just moved up to Triple-A, going 5-for-17 in four games there. He had split time between high-A and Double-A previously, hitting .305/.376/.418 with six homers and 39 steals in 112 games. The bat isn’t there to make him an adequate regular right now, but he will do quite a bit of running when he gets on base, making him a cheap steals source in deep leagues.
