Junior Caminero leads early 2027 fantasy third-base rankings
Early rankings for 2027 fantasy baseball put Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero first at the position.
The ranking credits him with a second straight season of 40 home runs and says his walk rate nearly doubled in 2026.
Chicago White Sox player Miguel Vargas is second, while Cleveland Guardians star José Ramírez is fourth.
Ramírez hit only two home runs in the second half of 2026 after breaking a bone in his hand, though his contact and base-stealing remained intact.
The rankings also flag uncertainty around several players, including Vargas after a major breakthrough and 34-year-old Ramírez.
That makes third base a risky position for fantasy managers choosing players for the coming season.
These are early rankings, and the source gives no further details about what happens next.
CBS Sports ranked Junior Caminero first among third basemen in its early 2027 fantasy baseball rankings.
The article said Caminero had hit 40 home runs for a second consecutive season in 2026.
Miguel Vargas was ranked second, followed by Sal Stewart in third.
Jose Ramirez, who had long dominated the position, was ranked fourth after hitting two home runs in the second half of 2026.
The article described third base as a thin position and noted risks and uncertainties among the players ranked.
