Our experts have provided key insights that are crucial to understanding the positional landscape for various scoring formats.
Take a look:
Tier One
Trea Turner - PHI
Bo Bichette - TOR
Fernando Tatis Jr. - SD
Tier One analysis
This group comes with the potential for five-category gold. Turner is the no-doubt slam dunk No. 1 option at the shortstop position going into his first season with Philadelphia, though Bichette came on strong down the stretch last year to justify his lofty draft position. Tatis is only going to miss a few weeks as he completes his PED suspension, so be careful about pushing him too far down in your rankings.
Tier Three
Amed Rosario - CLE
Nico Hoerner - CHI
Dansby Swanson - CHI
Jeremy Peña - HOU
Ezequiel Tovar - COL
Javier Baez - DET
Xander Bogaerts - SD
CJ Abrams - WSH
Tier three analysis
It's getting somewhat murkier at this point, though multiple names from this group make for respectable fantasy shortstops. Swanson and Bogaerts both stand out after their big-money contracts during the offseason. Pena had an up-and-down rookie season, but his stock is on the upswing after an impressive performance during the Astros' World Series run. Tovar and Abrams provide reason for excitement as they embark on their first full seasons in the majors.
