Axe's Take
Most people have Hanley Ramirez as their top shortstop, but when Troy Tulowitzki is healthy, no one can match his production. In the month of September alone, Tulo rocked his mullet and also rocked National League pitchers, hitting .322, with 15 HR and 40 RBI's! If he gets his at-bats, he'll put up top fantasy numbers. Jimmy Rollins was once considered the best player on the Phillies' roster, but injuries have plagued Rollins and caused his numbers to fall. He still has great potential, but you may end up with a shortstop who only plays half the season. Derek Jeter made headlines this off-season with his very public contract negotiations. Now that the Yankee captain looks like he'll finish his career in pinstripes, he can focus on playing baseball. However, even with fewer distractions, Jeter's numbers won't improve much. Jhonny Peralta could be a major sleeper in 2011. His average wasn't eye-catching to say the least, but his numbers improved when he was traded from the Indians to the Tigers. Being on a competitive team should help Peralta improve his fantasy numbers. I'm still not sold on Ian Desmond. A .269 average with only 10 HR's and 109 strikeouts? No thanks.
