Position eligibility is determined on the 20 games played at that position the previous season. In the event that a player did not play 20 games at any one position, the most games played determines the position. Rookies are listed in the role they are expected to fill in 2009.

Mixed dollar values are based on ESPN standard 10-team leagues with a $260 cap, assuming a standard starting lineup (1 catcher, 1 1B, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 SS, 1 MI, 1 CI, 1 UT, 5 OF, 9 P) and a three-man bench composed of two hitters and one pitcher. AL- and NL-only values are based on 12-team leagues with 23-man rosters (same positions as mixed, but with two catchers and no bench).

Since hitter and pitcher values are calculated separately, they do not always decrease at the same rate, so some players will be ranked higher or lower than a comparatively priced pitcher/hitter. This is normal and intentional.
