In response to "Given that there are exactly 2 good fantasy shortstops and one of them is injury prone, I'd keep Hanley for $47. -- nm" by David

I'd say there are 2 great shortstops, but a few other good shortstops.

The thing with Hanley and Tulo is that they deliver everywhere. Most other shortstops are lacking in one or two spots. But if it's a choice between Hanley at 47 and Stephen Drew or Alexei Ramirez at 10-15, I'll take the latter and spend the remaining 30 elsewhere.

Alright, since it's me, I'd probably end up with that 30 left on the board, but most other people would spend it elsewhere.

Speaking as someone stuck with Stephen Drew, I would not. - David Mar 25, 14:46 6
- Well, I wouldn't be happy about having Drew, but I think 47 is too much for Hanley. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 25, 14:55 5
  - I don't know the rules of the league, but that strikes me as a fair auction price for the clear cut best/safest SS. -- nm - David Mar 25, 14:57 4
    - I'm pretty sure it's a 5x5 roto league. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 25, 15:15 3
      - problem is at 47 dollars, you get exactly what you pay for. - groiny Mar 25, 16:10 1
        
        It's easy to find steals at 1B, 3B and the OF. 2B, C and SS are where I like sure things. -- nm - David Mar 25, 16:24
      - Correct on scoring & keeper inflation. Pujols was kept for $49 last year. - Guy Mar 25, 15:19
