After the numbers Rollins put up last year (other than his steals) i'm a little scared....just a little though.


I don't know if I would call it scared of Rollins,but I too would be leaning towards Utley. I don't think Rollins will have as bad a year as he did last year but he won't be back to his2007 form, which makes me want Utley's consistency .300 30Hr 115R, 100 RBI, 15SB.

Utley. I think Rollins is a bit overrated.

I believe Utley would be the way to go as long as he is healthy. Plus everythign I have read says that Alexei will be playing SS this year. So depending on your position elgibility he may be available really early on.

Very tough call. But I am leaning very slightly towards you take J-Roll. He may not be as good as 2007, but he is still rock solid as the 3rd best SS.

I like Utley slightly better because he is consistent and J-Roll can be frustrating at times during the season. You will be happier with Utley.

please help

The gulf between the Big 3 and the rest of the shortstops is massive, while at second there are at least some close to the top options like Uggla, Phillips, Roberts available. Based on position scarcity I go with Rollins every time.
