Believe it or not, where a player hits in a lineup is important to his fantasy value. Usually the first two hitters score a lot of runs and steal a few bases, but sacrifice home run and RBI numbers. The number 3 and 4 hitters usually have the most chances to be well-rounded. Further down the order are the guys who rack up the RBI numbers, but not so much in the power department.
