Shortstop: the best position in fantasy baseball… or is it just the least painful? On this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, we dive headfirst into the 2026 SS rankings and ask the real question: does every position kind of stink now, or are we just old and cynical? Along with these questions, we talk about how we like to attack the SS and MI position in our drafts.
We already discussed the elite names on earlier episodes, but there’s plenty left to cover. We wade through a sea of perfectly ripe avocados, squishy veterans, cracked ceilings, paper fortune tellers, and full-on abyss tiers. From Zach Neto and CJ Abrams, to aging speed gods like Trea Turner, risky injury vets, post-hype question marks, and the prospects to get excited about. We talk Statcast trends, bat speed, stolen base sustainability, injury red flags, and whether you should feel good, fine, or deeply uneasy about your MI.
