Rotographs Midseason Rankings – Shortstop
Continuing the positional rankings, we move over to shortstop. It’s been something of a barren wasteland this year. Thankfully, the unquestioned top two – Tulowitzki and Hanley – have been the unquestioned top two (with Hanley leading the way). but it’s been pretty jumbled from that point on. The landscape has really opened up with a lot of new names emerging as some former stalwarts have sunk further. I wasn’t even sure Correa would be called up in 2015 and now he’s looking like a game-changer at SS.
For this update, you will have the rankings from me, Zach Sanders, Jeff Zimmerman, and Dan Schwartz. Mike Podhorzer is currently on vacation.

Gentleman – What he said…
Really? Yahoo! needs to get its S together. Sano should never have SS eligibility. He hasn’t played SS in the minors since 2011.
That being said, and I agree, where would he rank ROS for those taking advantage of Yahoo!’s silliness?
