Fake Teams fantasy baseball writer Kevin Boger has done a great job with the Head to Head Points league rankings over the last few weeks. In case you missed his rankings articles, here are links to all of his position rankings:

Notes on the rankings:
Strikeouts/injuries - Points league rankings have an increased focus on strikeouts, as each one costs a hitter anywhere from -.5 to -1 points, and on injuries and plate appearances. Essentially, the more a hitter strikes out, the more likely he is to rank lower in a points league and a player that misses weeks at a time or in constantly in and out of the lineup is not very valuable as each week in a points league is its own mini-season. Therefore, when a player like Nelson Cruz is out of your lineup for the entire month of June, your chances of winning those weeks takes a big hit.
OBP - Also, while a lot of roto leagues have made the switch from AVG to OBP or turned to a 6x6 to incorporate the stat, it isn’t always the case in standard scoring. In a points league, a BB is just as good as a single, making hitters with a keen eye at the plate even more valuable than they might be in a traditional 5x5 roto league.

Top 300 overall
Any chance you might add a top 300 overall mixed position rankings?

Actually ...
I’m in the process of creating a spreadsheet for one of my H2H points league that will have my overall rankings. It’s a side project to a few other things, but I’m hoping to have it completed sometime within the first week or two of March. It’s based on a slightly different scoring format than my past rankings (includes CS, QS, 1 point for Ks, etc.) and will take into consideration more recent player moves (Prince Fielder, Jesus Montero, etc.) as well as injury news (Victor Martinez, etc.). Once completed, I should be able to transfer that information into a Fake Teams post.

Amazing
That’s exactly what I was looking for. Love all the articles, lists, and rankings, but a top 300 for H2H points would be the icing.
