Over the next few weeks here at Call to the Pen, we are going to get you ready for your 2017 fantasy baseball draft. In this space, I’ve done some prospect diving, talking about prospects to target and then prospects to stash with a late pick who may help you down the road during the season.

Now it’s time to get to the positional ranks. I’m going to give you top 10 rankings at all positions and then top 25 for outfielders and starting pitchers because there’s just so many of them.

We’ve already gone over catchers, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman and today we are going to take a look at the top 10 shortstops for the 2017 fantasy baseball season.

The shortstop position has evolved over the past couple of years. Some of the best young players in the game are at the position along with top prospects like Dansby Swanson and Amed Rosario either arriving or close to making it to the show.

There are guys with power, speed or both. Gone are the days where teams just wanted a good glove at the spot, now you need the bat to help your team on offense as well. This generation is going to be exciting to watch for years and years to come at the position.

So who are the top 10 players at the position for 2017 fantasy baseball? For that, we have to start off with a player who had a renaissance offensive season last year.
