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.

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?
