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.
