This position is getting really interesting over the last few seasons. The second base position has long been thought of as a defense-first position, filled with a bunch of slap hitters. Not anymore. Nowadays we have power bats like Rougned odor and Jonathan Schoop along with speedsters like Dee Gordon.

We aren't all going to agree on every single player. That would make fantasy leagues incredibly boring.The same can be said here at Fantrax. We have a great group of writers and podcasters (that might not be…

As I was growing up during the mid to late '90s, a shortstop revolution changed the way we thought about the position’s offensive capabilities. Guys like Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Nomar Garciaparra, and Miguel Tejeda blazed onto the scene and quickly proved that shortstop was more than just a position for defensive prowess.
