We're all still waiting to see if Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun will be playing before the end of May.
He's tested positive for a banned substance, although there's been no official word as an appeals process takes place. We should know something in the next couple weeks.
In the meantime, it's beginning to become the time to prepare for fantasy baseball. And if the reigning NL MVP has to serve a 50-game suspension, he'll certainly fall in fantasy drafts and auctions. But just how far?
Braun is a first-round lock without the suspension. With it, is he a fourth-rounder? An eighth-rounder? If it's a head-to-head league, put Braun at the higher end of the scale. But in a rotisserie format, you might not be able to afford to keep him around, dropping his value.
Fantasy correspondent Kevin Kleps has his preseason rankings ready for the fourth season, and he's tackled the Braun debate in his look at the top 60 outfielders for 2012. He also has his top 100 ready, along with the top 20 at every position. Watch for updates as the season draws closer.
