There are a few top guys like Tulo, Reyes, Hanley, and maybe now Asdrubal, but the depth at the bottom of the rankings is where the scarcity comes into play. Since many teams value SS defense over offense (and rightly so), you’re always going to have a plethora of light-hitting shortstops in MLB.

His k-to-bb ratio was terrific his last few starts, though the ball to strike ratio was inconsistent. I can see 2012 going either way, with him at Safeco continuing to improve, or injuries and command holding him back. Decent chance he cracks the rotation out of Spring Training.
