Shortstop

My divergence, if you will, is with Gunnar Henderson being my fourth choice over EDLC or Corey Seager. Those are two volatile options, one due to a brief track record, and the other due to a lengthy injury history with a current injury. I’m happy if others draft those two, and I settle in and wait on Gunnar. This isn’t a position I trust deeply, but there are a lot of intriguing shots to take late–Jackson Merrill, who has won the starting center field job in San Diego, is one such example.

* Denotes a current injury. I don’t think you can draft Matt McLain unless you’re in a league with an IL slot, and if he goes super, super late.
