2012 MLB Fantasy Baseball Value Outfielder Options
After the first 180 players have come off the board (15 rounds in 12-team leagues), there are still plenty of value outfielder options available.
Carlos Lee, Houston Astrosย
After a tough 2010 season that saw Leeโs average dip to .246, he bounced back with a .275-66-18-94-4 line. Unfortunately, the runs will likely continue to be sub-70, but he can still help in the HR and RBI categories. He has 1B/OF eligibility, which helps his cause. Hisย Mock Draft Central ADPย is 187.
Yoenis Cespedes, Oakland Aโs
His ADP will likely rise, but currentlyย Cespedesโ sits at 188. The Aโs believed in him. I expect fantasy owners will as well.

Tying HR Had Bauers Emotional
Jeff Francoeur, Kansas City Royals
He lagged in May and June, but his overall .285-77-20-87-22 line was quite impressive. If you can get that kind of production from an ADP of 192, youโll be in great shape.
Martin Prado, Atlanta Bravesย
Prado had a down year hitting .260, but heโs a career .293 hitter. His average and his third base eligibility give him nice value.
Colby Rasmus, Toronto Blue Jays
It would be easy to write off Rasmus after he hit .225 last year, especially when he hit .173 after coming over from St. Louis. Still, he hit 39 HR in his first two seasons and is just 25. His ADP of 205 makes him worth a look.
Alex Rios, Chicago White Sox
I donโt blame you if you donโt trust Rios after his miserable .227-64-13-44-11 line. With an ADP of 217 he is a good player to take a chance on given his previous production.
Youth Served?
Bryce Harper, Washington Nationalsย
Harper has a decent chance to make the Opening Day roster. His ADP of 221 will change dramatically through the spring if it looks like heโs going to stick. There could be some growing pains, but he is a serious talent.
Brandon Belt, San Francisco Giants
Belt struggled with Major League pitching, hitting .225. He did hit nine HR in 63 games, though. With a .343 minor league average, I expect him to do much better. His ADP is 204.
Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels
Trout hit .220 in his first taste in the bigs last year. He hit .337 with a .930 OPS in the minors, though, and heโs just 20. His ADP is 212.
