And, there are basically enough guys ranked for every team in the MLB to have three OF'ers before the Royals even find a guy on the list.

That's because this is fantasy baseball and not real baseball. Platoon guys will never be ranked highly and fantasy considers defense irrelevant, and basically every outfielder we have is going to platoon in some capacity or Isabel is more valuable for his defense. The White Sox will probably play Benitendi every day he is healthy, so he's more valuable because counting stats matter more than anything else. Not that I'm saying our outfield is secretly
awesome or anything, just that these rankings have nothing to do with reality.
