This article is part of our RotoWire Roundtable series.
Our rankings were assembled for 12-team, 5x5 mixed leagues that starts two catchers per team (thus there is a positional scarcity component added for catchers). We use five rankers: Jeff Erickson, Derek VanRiper, Michael Rusignola, Clay Link and James Anderson. The rankings were compiled completely blind -- none of the rankers saw any of the other rankings before the publication of this article.

First, we'll go through a couple players who have seen their stars rise since the February update.

Upgrades since February
First, we'll go through a couple players who have seen their stars rise since the February update.
Entering his age-24 season, Nolan Arenado may be primed to take the next step in his development. He's looked great this spring (.759 SLG in 11 games). K-Rod jumps after he re-signed with the Brewers on a multi-year deal, rather than a more lucrative one-year deal with a pennant favorite like the Dodgers, Angels or Nationals. With more pitchers biting the dust seemingly every day, Michael Wacha continues to creep up the rankings. Matt Harvey has flashed pre-surgery velocity and pitched well in Grapefruit League games this spring, and while stats in March don't matter, his performance breeds confidence in his ability to provide 190-200 excellent innings. It is really starting to look like Garrett Richards won't miss more than one or two turns in the rotation as he recovers from knee surgery, and that still puts him on pace for mid-teens wins.
Marcus Semien has distanced himself in the battle to take over the starting shortstop job in Oakland, after a spring injury to Josh Reddick pushed Ben Zobrist to right field. As a result, the path is clearer now for Semien than it was a few weeks ago. While he still has his doubters, A.J. Pollock does make good contact and the power development seems real, plus he figures to be atop the order giving him significant upside in runs and stolen bases. The Rangers named Leonys Martin their leadoff hitter recently, which should afford him plenty of chances to rack up additional runs scored after he's spent most of his career in the bottom third of the Texas lineup. In our February rankings, Eric Hosmer was pegged 7-8 rounds after Freddie Freeman. Upon reflection, this might be too much of a gap, especially considering there's a possibility they could carry similar value this year. People continue to beat up Josh Harrison for his inevitable regression -- maybe now it's too much. He can regress 35 points in batting average and he'll still be a beast in fantasy. It's starting to look like he'll bat first or second, and his position eligibility makes him an intriguing option.
Downgrades since February
Here are the players who have seen their stock fall since February.
Hunter Pence's fall is entirely health related. He drops five rounds in a standard 12-team mixed league, but he should stay on your short list of players at that reduced price. After reports that Cliff Lee won't pick up a baseball for at least two months, it's looking increasingly likely that the veteran may be done. News broke about Kenley Jansen undergoing foot surgery three days after the initial Roundtable was published, and with the right-hander set to miss at least a month, he was downgraded significantly. An oblique injury has delayed Rusney Castillo several weeks, putting him in real danger of heading to Triple-A to start the year. An injury can strike at any point opening up playing time, but it's impossible to know when that will be or where he'll bat in the lineup once up. Wilin Rosario's position in the lineup looks increasingly murky, and he might not see the requisite plate appearances to be useful in anything but two-catcher leagues. Alex Cobb's forearm issues are not to be downplayed: these injuries can often be precursors to UCL tears (and Tommy John surgeries).
Ian Kinsler played in all but one game last season, which was a big source of his 2014 value. As a second baseman on the wrong side of 30, there has to be a growing concern about his ability to remain durable in 2015. Oblique injuries are also worrisome with pitchers, and part of the reason the panel downgraded Glen Perkins. The Twins have a boatload of minor leaguers and a top pitching prospect in Alex Meyer, who would probably be upgrades over Perkins as the team's closer if they felt like going that route at some point this season. Aaron Sanchez closing would have been the best thing for his fantasy value, but with being pressed into starting duty after the injury to Marcus Stroman, he may lose effectiveness working through multiple innings and through the batting order multiple times. Sanchez's numbers as a starter at Double-A and Triple-A last year were not good. The Mets have insisted that Bobby Parnell will eventually return to take on the closer's role, and given that he made progress the last few weeks, Jenrry Mejia's job security takes a hit.
