For all the nitty gritty, nuts-and-bolts of what to expect from shortstops and your upcoming fantasy baseball draft, you can check out our extensive shortstop composite and ADP rankings.
However, we know how valuable your time is. The significant other has a springtime honey-do list a mile long, and the MLB season is fast approaching. Don't worry, we have your back.
Below is our CliffsNotes (or Readers Digest , if you insist) version of shortstop draft prep. The specific players ep and jzak are targeting in 2010 fantasy baseball drafts.
Early-Round Picks
Hanley Ramirez: Consensus pick by both ep and myself here. Can't ask for a better combination of statistics. I personally would take him first overall, as I mention in my NL-East preview . Ep has a good discussion going about the first overall pick.
Middle-Round Picks
Asdrubal Cabrera: There are a bunch of shortstops that will be picked in the middle rounds that will probably under-produce Cabrera this season. People seem to forget how good he was in limited action last season, and he has valuable multiple-position eligibility to boot.
Late-Round Picks
Alcides Escobar: First of two consensus late-round targets at shortstop, Escobar is one of many reasons I'm excited for the Brewers in 2010 and beyond. As with Cabrera, Escobar is going to be more of a speed option than a power threat, but he has gone deep this spring and plays in an incredibly talented offensive lineup.
