Over the last few weeks, we've evaluated first base and second base dynasty prospects. Both positions have their quirks. First base prospects are usually pure hitters with little defensive utility. Good for fantasy owners, less good for real baseball teams. Second base isn't always a well-regarded position among scouts leading clubs and rankings to under-represent the position in their prospect reports. Shortstop has many things in common with second base. It is a catch-all position for a[...]Keep on reading: Shortstop Prospect And Dynasty Rankings

We began last week with an evaluation of first base dynasty prospects. In many ways, first base is the easiest position to analyze. The top prospects stand out due to an excellent plate approach and/or massive raw power. It's relatively easy to judge prospects on just a few parameters. Second base (and every other position) is much more difficult. A few of these guys have power. Most of them have speed. Guessing how these talents will translate up the ladder is a maddening task. As with firs[...]Keep on reading: Second Base Prospect And Dynasty Rankings

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Espinosa is playing regularly at second base for the Nationals, and as the team has heated up so has he. In his last 15 games, he’s hitting .317 with eight RBIs and a whopping 13 runs scored. He does still strike out at an above-average rate, so he’s not as useful in leagues that aware -1 for a K. The run-scoring and RBI totals make him quite useful in roto leagues however, and he’s not without value in[...]Keep on reading: Danny Espinosa (2B/SS, WSH) – Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Short Term Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Second base is always a thin position in the world of fantasy baseball. The emergence of Danny Espinosa’s offense makes for a temporary fix for a team’s fantasy season that can’t seem to find the right player to plug into the 2B position. The Washington Nationals second baseman has been hitting the ball well lately, having 12 hits in his last 11 games. Espinosa also slugged three homers and eig[...]Keep on reading: Danny Espinosa (2B, WSH) – Waiver Wire Pickups

You are reasonably certain you will contend in all categories, and then you remember that you still need to fill a SS and MIF slot and it is Round 17. Ugh. While shortstop can be a challenging position to fill for teams both real and Fantasy, there is value to be had even here in the later rounds.
