If you are looking for a bargain shortstop, Bartlett may
provide you with that in 2008. In '07 with the Twins he
batted .265 with 7 triples and 23 stolen bases. With the
young, running Rays he fits right in and could give you
very nice stats. He did bat .309 in 2006 and if he can bat
close to that in '08 he could finish with 30 doubles, 10
triples and 30 stolen bases.
Jeff Keppinger
- Reds
The veteran Alex Gonzales has a broken knee which opens
the door for Keppinger. He doesn't have a lot of fantasy
flash, but he batted .332 with 5 home runs, 16 doubles &
2 triples with his 241 at bats in 2007.
Erick Aybar
- Angels
He makes a nice late-pick for a back-up because he qualifies
as a second basemen and a shortstop. In 2006 AAA Salt Lake,
Aybar batted .283 with 6 home runs, 3 triples, 20 doubles
and 32 stolen bases and has stolen as many as 51 bases in
the minors. He only batted .237 with 4 stolen bases with
193 at bats as a rookie in '07, but he is penciled in as
the starting shortstop.
