• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  It may have been All-Star week, but a bunch of lesser names dominated this week's Top Three. Okay, so the gold-medal winner may not be a no-name, but his appearance on the list is at least a surprise, thus showing that anything is possible in a short week: Gold Nomar Garciaparra (Los Angeles Dodgers) : Perhaps he just needed to move back to SS for a revival, but Garciaparra certainly looked like the Nomar of old last week. Garciaparra hit .462 with two HR, three RBI, and scored three R as he...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  It was a strong week for short stops, as they ended a mediocre first half on a positive note. Six short stops hit .400 or better and nine drove in five runs or more. However, only three can get medals, so here are your final medal-winners of the first half: Gold Jhonny Peralta (Cleveland Indians) : The entire Cleveland offense struggled in the first half, but you wouldn't know it based on the past week. That holds true for Peralta, who hit some HR but did little else for most of the first half...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  Finally, a hot week for short stops as the top three were absolutely scorching this week. Though it has been an underwhelming fantasy year for the captains of the infield, they still have half a season to renew the faith their owners put in them, and many short stops got off to a great start in accomplishing that goal. The top three, however, were easy picks, as they dominated the landscape: Gold J.J. Hardy (Milwaukee Brewers) : For a while, it looked like Hardy's second-half swoon last year...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  For a short little while, short stops looked like they were breaking out of their season-long slump, hitting for insanely high averages and stealing plenty of bases. This week, there is some good news and bad news. The bad news? Short stops again had a mediocre week, with no short stop hitting more than two home runs or driving in more than six runs. The good news? With so many short stops clustered together, there is a good chance your team was not hurt by your short stop. With that, your top three...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  Some of the top short stops, at least so ranked before the season, started to round back into form as the summer began. Hitting for high AVGs and stealing plenty of bases, the short stops came out to prove that they are more than just a good glove up the middle: Gold Orlando Cabrera (Chicago White Sox) : Cabrera is finally heating up, and it came at the right time. Cabrera did it all last week, hitting .417 with two HR, seven RBI, six R, and a stolen base for good measure. With short stop production...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  Unfortunately, just about every fantasy owner ended up starting a short stop in their lineups this past week. In hindsight, most owners would probably have kept that spot in the lineup open, as major league short stops tended to do more harm than good last week. Just as nearly every fantasy lineup had a short stop, however, so must there be three short stops who topped the others: Gold Mike Aviles (Kansas City Royals) : Raise your hand if Aviles even showed up on your radar. By no means a top prospect... Posted Jun 15 2008, 11:51 PM by paChiefsFan with | with no comments Filed under: MLB Top SS Performances, Stephen Drew, Mike Aviles, Jason Bartlett

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  The cream rises to the top, as the top short stops from before the season take their rightful spots at the top of the SS list for this week. This week saw short stops do what we expected them to do: hit for average, steal bases, and hit for a little power. Your top three for the week: Gold Hanley Ramirez (Florida Marlins) : This is the Hanley Ramirez we know and love. After muddling through a relatively lowly season by his standards, Ramirez's bat woke up with a huge week. Ramirez not only hit...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  Run like the wind, short stops, because that is where your fantasy values lie this year! Well, that and batting average, since power and run production do not seem to be in the cards after two full months of the season have passed. Still, the short stops have provided some diversity on fantasy rosters, none more than this week's top three: Gold Jose Reyes (New York Mets) : Reyes is the easy winner this week, as he hit .367 with three HR, four RBI, 10 R, and three SB. Reyes' fantastic week... Posted Jun 02 2008, 11:30 AM by paChiefsFan with | with no comments Filed under: Jose Reyes, MLB Top SS Performances, Jerry Hairston Jr., Marco Scutaro

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  High average, little power. That seems to be the theme for SS this season, as the position harkens back to the old days. This week, the real big names are missing, but the names are still well-known to fantasy owners and baseball fans anywhere: Gold Carlos Guillen (Detroit Tigers) : Technically, Guillen is not a SS anymore, and wouldn't you know it, he has the best power week among them? Guillen finished with a .391 AVG, two HR, five RBI, and five R. Mostly a 3B now, Guillen qualifies for multiple...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  Speed seems to be the name of the game for SS this year, as the power numbers are way down and even the batting averages are low. This week's crew got a shot in the arm from the return of an elite star, while other top short stops shone as well. Gold Jose Reyes (New York Mets) : Reyes sneaks into the top spot after a strong performance on Sunday Night Baseball against the Yankees. Reyes' 2-5, 1 HR, 3 RBI performance gave him a .354 AVG for the week, to go with two homers, five RBI, four R...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  Would you believe that no SS hit more than one home run this week? Short stops have been slow to produce runs directly this year, and this week was no exception. The name at the top surprises nobody, but his numbers might. Gold Hanley Ramirez (Florida Marlins) : Want proof that Ramirez is worth the $70 million the Marlins are planning to pay him? This week was a down week for Ramirez, and he still finishes at the top of the SS list. Ramirez did not hit any homers and drove in only two runs, but he...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  A very quiet week for SS, as virtually none of them hit HRs and the RBIs were miniscule. Still, they hit for a high AVG, meaning they got on base, scored runs, and, in one case, stole bases. Here are your top three: Gold Rafael Furcal (Los Angeles Dodgers) : No team was hotter than the Dodgers last week, and it all started at the top with Furcal, who hit .393 and scored an incredible 11 runs for the week. Furcal also contributed a homer, four RBI, and two stolen bases. After a middling 2007 campaign...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  While one fantasy shortstop established himself as possibly the best fantasy commodity in the world, the rest of the fantasy shortstops were somewhat underwhelming. Expect that to be a common theme in more weeks than not this year. Gold Hanley Ramirez (Florida Marlins) : There may not be a better, more pure hitter in the game right now. Simply put, Hanley Ramirez is an offensive juggernaut all by himself. Ramirez finished the week with a .289 AVG, five home runs, eight runs scored, seven RBI, and...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Short Stops

  Not a big power performance from the shortstops this week, but I think managers and fantasy owners alike are happy nonetheless with some of the high AVGs and RBI/R numbers put up by the top three (Author's Note: this article was written before Sunday night's Mets-Phillies matchup): Gold Ryan Theriot (Chicago Cubs) : The three medalists were separated by a hair, but Theriot takes the top spot by virtue of his nearly .500 AVG (.484). Theriot also added a homer, four RBI, six R, and a stolen...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances - Shortstops

  It was a bit of a slow week for shortstops, which garnered plenty of hits but did not produce a lot of runs. It does not help that starting shortstops such as Jimmy Rollins and Stephen Drew were hit with injuries in the early going. However, a lot of shortstops hit well, so there is a good chance that your starting shortstop did not hurt your roster. The top three for Week 2: Gold Hanley Ramirez ( Florida Marlins) : Ramirez is looking every bit the top three fantasy selection he was in virtually...
