This gets harder and harder the more ya go!  But still good stuff available, all the way through pick 100 at least.  Here's the initial list for 51-75:

 

51.  Alex Rodriguez, 3B  Really strange to rate him so low, but we started seeing the beginning of the end last season.

52.  Ryan Howard, 1B   For those who really pay attention, grab him late, stash him, use a sub for the first 2 months, and have him help you win your league in the 2nd half.  That's one of my strategies.

53.  C.C. Sabathia, SP   Back with the Yankees, so back to 15+ wins and 200+ K's.  Nice value here.

54.  Buster Posey, C   A little early for the 2nd catcher off the board, but he's young, back from injury, and will hit in the 3, 4, or 5 spot in an improved Giants line-up.

55.  Michael Morse, 1B/OF   Got a chance to start and responded with 31 HR's, 95 RBI, and a .303 average.  Will qualify for 1B and OF too.

56.  Matt Cain, SP   He's better than his win-loss record indicates.  Finished last season with a 2.88 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP.

57.  Alex Gordon, 3B/OF   He finally arrived and now will have the confidence that he can get the job done.  Double digit HR and SB players are valuable.

58.  Shane Victorino, OF   Am thinking he's going to bounce back, yet he still hit 17 HR's and had 19 SB's.  Numbers should rise this season.

59.  Carlos Santana, C  Over a year removed from a major injury, it's time for the anticipated break-out.  Could even be the top fantasy catcher.

60.  Kevin Youkilis, 1B/3B   Injuries wreaked havoc with his season last year.  This could be a real value pick if he stays healthy.

61.  Asdrubal Cabrera, SS  Sure, I'll take a 27 year old shortstop who clubbed 25 HR's and threw in 17 SB's at the #60 pick.  I'm buying!

62.  Jay Bruce, OF   32 HR's and 97 RBI last season, and folks are still waiting for his break-out (!?).  If it comes, what a value pick this would be.

63.  David Price, SP   Last season was a disappointment, but the talent is there and the Rays have re-loaded quickly.

64.  Rickie Weeks, 2B   Was cruising towards a great season last year, then an injury hit.  Been the knock on him his whole career.  Still, good 2B value.

65.  Paul Konkerko, 1B   We've been suspicious of a drop-off for two years running; but hit 31 HR w/105 RBI and a .300 average last year.

66.  Brian McCann, C   Maybe a little high for a catcher, but you know you're going to get solid production from him.  Count on 20+ HR's and decent numbers across the board.

67.  James Shields, SP   Some may put him higher, but we'd like to see it continue in '12 first.  Loved his high number of shut-outs last year.

68.  Michael Bourn, OF   Speed is a part of the fantasy game too.  Will score atop that Braves line-up, and had 61 SB's last year.

69.  Chase Utley, 2B   How the mighty have fallen.  But his numbers have fallen for three straight years, his age is up, and so are the injuries.

70.  Yovani Gallardo, SP   Bounced back from an awful start to post 17 wins and 207 K's.  If he is consistent all season this will be too low a pick.

71.  Jason Rollins, SS   This is where he is if he is a Philly.  Stay tuned.

72.  David Ortiz, UTIL   Don't like his age, but can't deny a guy a top 75 spot when you club 29 HR's, drive in 96, and hit .309

73.  Eric Hosmer, 1B   Should build on solid rookie campaign and increase his HR's (19) and RBI (78).  Hit .293 and threw in 11 steals as well.

74.  Drew Stubbs, OF   Multi-category player would rise in rankings if he could get a rise in his batting average.  Potential is there though.

75.  Jayson Werth, OF   Probably spent too much of last season thinking/trying to justify his contract.  If he just plays, he'll be worth this spot.

Wow…that is crazy to see ARod so low…but I don't disagree.

 

Buster Posey – I think you've got him ranked about right…and I think massive sleeper alert coming back off injury.  I think he's going to pick up right where he left off and a lot of people might be skeptical and let him slide in a draft. 

 

Drew Stubbs…I have a love/hate relationship with this guy.  Have him in a keeper league (over at Scoresheet, where the seasons are simulated and defense counts, etc), and love his power/speed/defense.  Hate his average/OBP. 

 

I love Youk.  He'll be back….plagued by injuries in 2011…he'll put up big numbers in 2012.
