Fantasy Baseball: 2010 Top 20 Shortstop Rankings

Time for a second look at my shortstop rankings.

1. Hanley Ramirez

Second only to Albert Pujols in overall fantasy ranking.

2. Troy Tulowitzki

If he can match his speed numbers, he’s at least in the conversation with Hanley Ramirez.

3. Derek Jeter

Is it possible that Jeter is becoming underrated?

4. Jose Reyes

2009 should bring him at a great value. If not, at least he won’t cost you a first round pick anymore.

5. Jimmy Rollins

J-Roll has been somewhat disappointing the past two years, but at 31, he still should be able to put up elite numbers.

6. Elvis Andrus

Elvis was a force on the basepaths last year and should be even better in 2010.

7. Alexei Ramirez

I love the value you get from Alexei later in the draft. 

8. Yunel Escobar

We profiled him earlier (click to read article). He doesn’t give you any speed but does contribute in all the hitting categories.

9. Stephen Drew

Was disappointing last year. Could see him bouncing back this year.

10. Jason Bartlett

I think he played over his head last year, but he is still a low-end fantasy starter.

11. Everth Cabrera

I’m not sure who will drive him in other than Adrian Gonzalez. He still should steal a bunch of bases.

12. Miguel Tejada

He’s playing third base for Baltimore. There’s still a little life left in his bat.

13. Jhonny Peralta

If he can score more runs, maintain his RBIs and get his power back, he could move up the list. He has 3B/SS versatility, which helps his value.

14. J.J. Hardy

Excellent bounce-back candidate for the Twins.

15. Rafael Furcal

His health is the only thing that holds him back.

16. Erick Aybar

Aybar was great down the stretch for the Halos. He’s a nice backup shortstop or solid for the middle infield slot.

17. Orlando Cabrera

Should be productive for the Reds despite being 35.

18. Marco Scutaro

Should be productive in Boston’s powerful lineup.

19. Asdrubal Cabrera

I don’t believe his 2009 numbers were for real. Average 2008 and 2009 and you’ll get an idea of how he should end up.

20. Alcides Escobar

Escobar has the potential to really break out for the Brew Crew in 2010.
