2014 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Shortstop Rankings

Tulowitzki is easily the most dangerous hitting shortstop in the game today. Despite the Coors Field stigma (which is somewhat true) Tulo is better than the field. His major issue is health. If you have owned him in the past, you know what we are saying. If Tulowitzki can actually stay on the field, 30 homers and 100 RBI are easily within his grasp. (Take a look at his mechanics in the video below to get an idea of his power.) His career OPS of 877 should be higher but health issues over the years has likely put a dent in it. While we don’t have the foresight to see that he will appear in 150+ games, we do know that if he does you will be a proud and contending owner. Tulowitzki is annually a slow starter but don’t lose faith because remember you drafted him high. After all, this dude’s career BABIP and OBP numbers would be great for a first baseman — never mind a middle infielder. Gamblers roll the dice and they don’t fear what hasn’t already happened.

Fantasy Notes: Andy Comes in Handy

Pettitte has really picked things up this month: 2-1, 2.66 with just 16 hits, one homer and four walks allowed in 20 1/3 IP. But how about those 24 Ks? Very sweet rate for the southpaw. Pettitte leads the NL in losses but ranks in the top 10 in wins, strikeouts and innings pitched. In the very, very slim chance he’s available in your mixed league, terminate him off the waiver wire with extreme prejudice.

Spikes Up: Same Old Nats

Oh baby! That was a seriously fine All-Star game last week. Sure, the whole “this time it counts” mantra is tiresome, but these past three midseason classics have really lived up to the title and been worth watching. The game has evolved into more than just a stupid fly-by followed by four hours of boredom.
