High Fives: Which baseball players could see fantasy boost with new teams?

Top 5 players who get a value boost from relocation for '15

1. Josh Donaldson - In terms of offensive ballpark factors, goes from an outhouse to a penthouse

1. Hanley Ramirez- Hanley is shortstop-eligible for at least one more year, and he'll do his hitting in a terrific lineup

1. Josh Donaldson - From the Oakland graveyard to the Toronto launching pad. Get your popcorn, and calculator, ready

2. Pablo Sandoval  - Should love the Green Monster, and ultimately, the DH

2. James Shields - Pitcher-friendly park in a pitcher-friendly league

2.Max Scherzer - In that lousy division, 300 strikeouts might be in play

3. Evan Gattis - Move to AL didn't require him to pack his catcher's mitt

3. Pablo Sandoval - Nice ballpark for Panda, terrific lineup

3. James Shields - Modest skills erosion will be masked by roomy new environment

4. Max Scherzer - In theory, move from AL to NL is always better for a SP

4. Steven Souza - Check his Triple-A numbers from last season

4. Han-Ram/Panda - Welcome to the hitter’s league, and a pinball machine

5. James Shields - See above

5. Eric Young Jr. - EY Jr. landed in a spot where he might actually play

5. Jon Lester - Those AL-to-NL pitchers, nectar of the gods

Top 5 hitters outside the Yahoo top 200 in '14 (400 ABs) likeliest to land inside the top 100 in '15

1. David Wright - Not far beyond his prime at 32, so a rebound doesn't require a major leap of faith

1. David Wright - It's not as if he's never done it before. It's nothin' for Wright to hit for average, with power and speed

1. Kolten Wong - America’s sleeper, but we love those power-speed guys. Minor-league resume suggests last year’s BA a stone fluke

2. Dustin Pedroia - Or Jason Kipnis ... both are proven top-shelf commodities at 2B

2. Dustin Pedroia - Again, he's been a top-100 player previously. We're not asking for anything unprecedented

2. Jay Bruce - Too much goodwill built up, partially excuse 2014

3. Kolten Wong - Went 15/21 in 121 games (inc. postseason) as a rookie

3. Dexter Fowler - If he's healthy and leading off, you'll love this season

3. Dustin Pedroia - Category juice waning, but look at the loaded lineup

4. Evan Gattis - Think he'll hit 30 HRs in HOU - nobody w/ 30+ finished outside top 100 in '14

4. J.J. Hardy - From 2011 to 2013, he hit 77 bombs

4. David Wright - Probably won't bat .269 again, can be a 20-15 man realistically

5. Chris Davis - Was No. 3 overall in '13 - has an adderall green light for '15

5. Eric Hosmer - Seems like he has a 20-15-.300 season in him

5. Eric Hosmer - Have fun with post-hype discount; injuries partially excuse 2013

For the zeroSP crowd, top 5 starters currently landing outside the Yahoo top 200 ADP

1. Collin McHugh - Offers control and K per IP ability

1. James Paxton - A lefty who hits the high-90s, in a friendly park? Yes, please

1. John Lackey - Perfect time for park switch, will love full season of Yadier Molina

2. Danny Salazar - Big-time K stuff and 2nd half in '14 provides plenty of optimism

2. Wily Peralta - Still just 25, coming off an impressive season. He's capable of a leap

2. Collin McHugh - Got better in second half, looks legit to me

3. Taijuan Walker - You look for upside this late, and Walker oozes it

3. Collin McHugh - Weirdly cheap following tremendous year

3. Shelby Miller - Everyone loved him 15 minutes ago

4. James Paxton - See above

4. Danny Duffy- Hard-thrower is determined to toss 200 frames

4. Ervin Santana - Target Field will hide some of his mistakes

5. Jesse Hahn - Snappy '14 debut, and move to OAK won't hurt

5. Jason Hammel - He was terrific in Chicago last season, pre-trade

5. Kyle Lohse - Never walks anyone, which partially offsets modest strikeouts

Top 5 fantasy middle relievers for '15

1. Ken Giles - Because this power arm won't be standing in line behind Papelbon for long

1. Wade Davis - Obscene. Sick. Almost unhittable. Needs to be owned, regardless of role

1. Andrew Miller - No platoon weaknesses, not spooked by small parks

2. Wade Davis - Because my experience of owning him in '14 was such a pleasure

2. Kelvin Herrera - Throws 900 mph, a silly talent. KC's 'pen is silly

2. Ken Giles - Already dominant (12.6 K/9), Jon Papelbon eventually departs

3. Tyler Clippard - Great K rate, strong ratios, and will get early saves as closer fill-in

3. Andrew Miller - Crazy K-rate, and it's possible he'll poach a save or two

3. Wade Davis - For all the Ned Yost complaining, his bullpen usage makes sense

4. Brad Boxberger - See above (but with even more Ks, less track record)

4. Tyler Clippard - Proven relief ace who may see a few early-season save chances

4. Brad Boxberger - A little homer prone, but with 104 whiffs, who cares?

5. Andrew Miller - Amply fills the requisite K+ ratio boxes

5. Darren O'Day - O'Day's last three years: 17-6, 2.05 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 9.2 K/9

5. Kevin Quackenbush - Bud Black’s bullpen always has a bunch of working-class heroes

Top 5 defunct stadiums that you would have most liked to visit

1. Polo Grounds - If you think Fenway Park is funky, take a look at this

1. West Side Park - Historians tell us that the Cubs did, in fact, win the World Series. When it happened, this was their home.

1. Tiger Stadium - I’ll never forgive myself for not making the pilgrimage

2. Tiger Stadium - Loved the look of those columns, and the stands were right on top of the field

2. South End Grounds - I mean, just look at this place. That's gorgeous.

2. The Kingdome - So I can get all the Funston references

3. Shibe Park - First steel-and-concrete park - rest of MLB would follow suit soon thereafter

3. Polo Grounds - Crazy dimensions, so much history

3. Ebbets Field - No sleep till Brooklyn

4. Ebbets Field - When it comes to storied MLB stadiums, it's Ebbets and Yankee at the top

4. Ebbets Field - Beautiful park, phenomenal stars, countless big games

4. Comiskey Park - Preferably on Disco Demolition night

5. Braves Field- Opened with 550-foot dimension in CF!

5. Tiger Stadium - Still can't believe Reggie hit it here

5. Sicks’ Stadium - With Jim Bouton on the hill
