The Nationals are really good. Jordan Zimmerman is really good. That means a lot of these. Plus he’s buddies with my shortstop!

Just like second base, the shortstop position is lacking in quality fantasy players. So in the third round I had to snag this stud – in my mind the third best shortstop after Hanley and Tulo.

Q: Why do I like him? A: Multi-category production

2013 season – 20 HR, 80 RBI, 21 SB, .280 average

Plus that mustache…

I may be thinking a bit too optimistically to think that a rookie can be my starting 3rd baseman, but the MLB’s #2 prospect killed it in the playoffs last season.

I continually passed on quality third basemen so I could snag Xander later on, though I am really bummed that I didn’t get my dude Manny Machado. He also can play at SS so that’s a big plus!

There is a severe lack in quality fantasy second basemen, so I grabbed Dusty in the second round. He doesn’t dominate in any category (except maybe batting average) but he does a little bit of everything.

He fits the mold of my team – well rounded players that can contribute in multiple categories. This strategy may come back to bite me, but that’s just how I roll.

Some Dustin Pedroia adjectives: passionate, scrappy, awesome, short

He’s not going to play in the MLB this season (or even technically on my roster right now), it’s an honorary spot because he is the future of the Cubs as the #7 prospect in the MLB.

This guy has unreal power for a shortstop, I mean he hit four home runs in a game!!

With my first pick I had to grab this reliable dude. He’s gonna hit over .300, crush some dingers, knock in some ribbies and score a buttload of runs.
