If you joined a fantasy baseball league that was drafting this week -- as teams reached the 81-game mark (the official midseason point, not the All-Star break) -- whom would you take first? Albert Pujols, Hanley Ramirez or Miguel Cabrera?

Whom would you take with the 12th and final pick of the first round?

How excited would you be to exchange your second-round pick of Grady Sizemore for Alex Rios?

That was the idea for the list that follows. The following players are ranked in order based on how I think they will perform the rest of the season. What they've done to this point is important, but doesn't mean everything -- see Bautista, Jose and Greinke, Zack.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bautista had a poor second half and Greinke a great one. Heck, we shouldn't be surprised if Rafael Furcal is the best shortstop not named Hanley Ramirez in the last three months of the season.

Injured players were dropped in the rankings for obvious reasons.

Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is expected to be out through at least Week 17 (this is the start of Week 14) with a wrist injury, Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia likely is out through Week 19 and Phillies second baseman Chase Utley might miss two more weeks than Pedroia. The news is more encouraging for Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez, who could return from a fractured thumb after the All-Star break.

Tribe outfielder Shin-Soo Choo would've cracked the top 30 if it wasn't for a recent thumb injury that could require surgery. Finally, Jake Peavy likely would've been in the top 100 if not for a back injury that landed the White Sox pitcher on the DL this week.

Pitchers and catchers report.

On the baseball calendar, those four words might only be surpassed by “Tim McCarver will retire” and “Look, there’s Erin Andrews!”

As spring training gets set to begin, let’s take our first crack at the top 100 in fantasy.
