I appreciate the fact that shortstop is a demanding position, and surely should be the centerpiece of a competitive team.
However, I’m looking at box scores and stats of starting shortstops for the remaining 4 teams, and all I see is competent performers, not game-altering talents:
Jeremy Peña
IKF
Bryson Scott
Ha-Seong Kim
Not exactly Murderer’s Row. I leave it to the good care of you and the other smart folks at Twins Daily to tell me if this year is a major exception, or if we’re all just perhaps overcooking the importance of shortstops.
