I agree that second base is a very shallow poistion with only two guys worthy of going in the first 5 rounds (Soriano and Boone) but shortstop is much deeper than you think. With five short stops that could easily go in the first 4 rounds plus Kaz and the fact that Reyes is eligible for SS it makes it a pretty solid position. I think the two weakest fantasy postions are second base and catcher.

Keep an eye on Julio Lugo. If you compared his numbers from last season to Jeter's, you'd be pleasantly surprised.

Also, I think Rollins is going to have a bounce back year.

Also keep an eye on Michael Young. 15 games and you can add him to that list.

1. A-Rod
2. Renteria
3. Tejada
4. Nomar
5. Jeter
6. Furcal
7. Cabrera
8. Berroa
9. Reyes
10. Matsui

And 3B and C, not just 2B, are shallower than SS.
