Restocking fantasy rankings March update

It's been a month since we unveiled our fantasy baseball rankings by position for the season, and there have been a few developments since then (of course). So fantasy correspondent Kevin Kleps has reconfigured his rankings a bit.

Rising: Ryan Braun (because his situation has cleared up), Matt Moore and Kendrys Morales.

Falling: Ryan Howard (Achilles), Grady Sizemore (back), Corey Hart (knee), Carl Crawford (wrist).

Here are all the rankings, updated as of today:

Top 20 catchers: In a weak and banged-up crop of catchers, Indians youngster Carlos Santana could be poised for a breakout third season.

Top 20 first basemen: Albert Pujols should find American League pitching to his liking.

Top 20 second basemen: Robinson Cano is the top choice at a surprisingly deep position.

Top 20 shortstops: It's Troy Tulowitzki's time to be the top shortstop, assuming you can shrug off the injury risks.

Top 20 third basemen: The top two choices -- Miguel Cabrera and Hanley Ramirez -- didn't even play that position last season.

Top 10 designated hitters: Michael Young might be able to help your team at several positions, but he's a default DH.

Top 60 outfielders: With Ryan Braun's suspension avoided, he's the best on the board, just over Jose Bautista.

Top 80 starting pitchers: Where do big-potential starters such as Stephen Strasburg and Yu Darvish fit in?

Top 20 closers: Don't jump on a closer too early in a draft; there are many decent options.

Top 100 overall: Plus links to other draft tips.
