 As you prepare for your 2010 fantasy baseball draft, Dr. Roto is here to help. This is part of a multi-part series where Dr. Roto will be rating fantasy players by position. As opposed to most sites that rank players in order, he will be ranking them in tiers. Today we will be covering short stops.
Group A (Guys I love):
Hanley Ramirez - just watched him last week in Jupiter, so good he is on another planet
Derek Jeter - still producing and plays in a great hitting park
Jimmy Rollins - focus on 2009 2nd half numbers
Troy Tulowitzki - power/speed combo plus a great leader
Jose Reyes - I will put him here, but I am queasy about it
Group B (Guys that are solid):
Yunel Escobar - solid as a rock
Jason Bartlett - finally met expectations in 2009—can he keep it up?
Alexi Ramirez - another power speed guy
Asdrubal Cabrera - ready to take the next step up the SS food chain
Stephen Drew - can he finally meet the high expectations?
Rafael Furcal - needs to remain healthy
Group C (Guys that are decent but have flaws):
Elvis Andrus - love the guy’s speed, but want to see more pop
Everth Cabrera - needs to put stamp on position, big Dr. Roto sleeper
Alcides Escobar - it’s his time in Brew-town—watch him shine
Erick Aybar - he can steal more bases if give the green light
Marco Scutaro - great buy for $1 at the end of your draft
Orlando Cabrera - the Marco Scutaro of the NL
Ryan Theriot - am supposed to like him more than I do
Group D (Guys who are risky)
JJ Hardy - might surprise - has big power
Ian Desmond - decent hitter, but bad defense may cost him job eventually
Edgar Renteria - was good 5 years ago
Cliff Pennington - can’t steal 1st base
Miguel Tejada - no way lightning strikes in a bottle twice
Jack Wilson - reserve round pick
If you haven't voted in our poll on the site yet please do so. We are trying to get a feel for how our readers are looking at the game of MLB so we can write about things they want to hear. The poll question is, "Do you think that MLB should have a salary cap or something similar?"
