The shortstop position doesn’t provide much in terms of batting average but there are a good deal of players who can fill up multiple fantasy baseball categories and contribute to each week’s successes (or failures). There’s a bit more pop among today’s shortstops than there was in the past, relatively anyway, since 18 home runs is a lot these days.
For the most part, this is a position that can help you in the steals department, though you may have to sacrifice some categories to get an Everth Cabrera or Jonathan Villar amount of steals.
