2010 Fantasy Shortstop Rankings

Still the man at short

Another fantasy season, another season with little-to-no depth at the middle infield positions. While Hanley Ramirez, Derek Jeter, and Troy Tulowitzki look like solid choices, there are plenty of questionable choices. Jose Reyes is coming off an injury, Jimmy Rollins had a down year, and many people are questioning Ben Zobrist’s breakout. Depending on what you believe, some shortstop lists are going to be quite different. Without further ado…time for the shortstops.

Placido Polanco has returned to Philadelphia after some time in Detroit

And the big names, Holliday, Bay, and Lackey haven’t found a new home yet, but Chone Figgins, Placido Polanco and Marco Scutaro are now off the market.

Let me say, as a White Sox fan, I’m glad Placido Polanco is out of the division, as well as AL, because it seemed like he killed the White Sox every time he was at the plate.

2009 MLB Off-Season Underway…

MLB’s “off-season” isn’t “off” by any means with player options and trades underway, with free agency coming up.  Some things to keep in mind…for 15 days after the World Series ends, teams have exclusive rights to their own free agents. Players can talk with other teams, but only in general terms. The GMs will meet from November 9th-11th in Chicago.

Since Wednesday, some trades have been made and a couple caught my attention.

1. White Sox getting Mark Teahan from Royals for Chris Getz and Josh Fields

2. Brewers receiving Carlos Gomez from Twins for JJ Hardy
