As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the shortstop position is shaping up to be a hotbed of talent and debate. With players like Bobby Witt Jr., Elly De La Cruz, and Gunnar Henderson leading the charge, the question on everyone's mind is: how do you prioritize shortstops in your draft strategy?
Bobby Witt Jr. is coming off a stellar season, and many are predicting he could repeat his top-five performance. But can he really maintain that level of excellence? What do you think about his potential for back-to-back top-five finishes? Is it realistic, or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?
Then there's Elly De La Cruz, whose combination of power and speed makes him a tantalizing option. However, his high strikeout rate raises concerns. For those of you who have taken a chance on him in the past, what has your experience been? Are you willing to bet on his upside, or do you think his strikeout issues will hold him back?
Gunnar Henderson's rollercoaster performance last season has left many wondering if he can find consistency. With the potential for 30-35 home runs, is he a must-have, or do you think his inconsistency makes him too risky?
And let's not forget about the veterans like Mookie Betts and Francisco Lindor, who continue to deliver solid production. Are they still worth early-round picks, or is it time to look towards the younger talent?
As we dive deeper into the rankings, players like Oneil Cruz and CJ Abrams are generating buzz. Cruz's physical tools are undeniable, but can he harness them effectively? And Abrams, with his speed, could be a game-changer, but is he too erratic to trust?
With so many intriguing options at shortstop, how do you plan to approach this position in your draft? Are you going to secure one of the top-tier talents early, or are you willing to wait and see what falls to you later? Share your thoughts, bold predictions, and any strategies you have for navigating the shortstop landscape in 2025!
