Classic Set Previews: SHORTSTOPS

Another position of scarcity, shortstop may be even more barren at the top than second base. Robin Yount is the best in the class, followed by surprisingly good Rico Petrocelli and should-be Hall of Famer Alan Trammel. HOFer and defensive wizard Ozzie Smith earns an incredible +6 at SS. With only three guys earning an OB 9, and two others bringing in an OB 8, offense is hard to come by at this position. So draft early and wisely to avoid having to punt the position.

Perhaps the most balanced SS in this class, Alan Trammel helped the Tigers win the 1984 World Series. With top notch speed, fielding, power, and contact, this is one SS to target in the first couple rounds of your draft!
