A hand shoots through the ground, it’s a skeleton claw! Next, oh my God, it’s skeleton head! “I want pitcher brain custard,” it sneered. Is this, oh my God, has Trent Grisham (1-for-6 and his 8th homer and 4th homer in six games) turned into a Zombino? Cut! No, this is ridiculous. I’m sorry, he’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As a way to offer readers some deeper knowledge about the fantasy-relevant players on MLB rosters, I’m going to be checking in from time to time with a full division’s worth of middle infielders. As a long-suffering Cubs fan, I couldn’t resist starting with the NL Central. If my assessment gets a bit bleak at […]

Yesterday, Kyren Paris (1-for-3, 2 RBIs) hit his 3rd homer. At the worst, a hot schmotato. At the best, he’s hosting the last Olympics in his brain and we’re all Raygun. At most realistic, he’ll be hot for a few weeks until teams figure him out. At the most illuminating, I just realized Gaylord Perry […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With a rankings list, the most important thing (at least in my view) is not to overreact to small data sets. It’s hard to really move anyone up or down much unless something is really notable in the first week of the season. For most of the list, there really isn’t much that is all […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?“So, that’s how he was good last year!” is what a lot of people will be saying now. I may be one of those people. A lot of people will be asking, “Jurickson Profar, why did you cheat?” And to those people I will be saying, “Did you see how bad he was prior to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?For those of you who aren’t fantasy baseball degenerates like I am, you’re probably right in the middle of your main drafting season. I, on the other hand, am finishing up 6 months of drafting… The first step is acknowledging I have a problem. I’m hopeful my obsession at least can benefit Razzball readers. All […]

The top 20 shortstops for 2025 fantasy baseball are Daddy Warbucks and all of you are greedy Little Orphan Annies with your hands out wanting more, more, more. That’s all right, due to a high-yield savings account in the British Virgin Islands that he hasn’t paid taxes on for twenty years, Warbucks has plenty to […]

After two weeks of rankings where I lumped players ranked 400-301 into one group and then players 300-201 into a second group, this is the week in which I break out the rankings into groups of 25. For this week, that means players ranked 200-176.
The overall breakdown of this group tends to be a little older compared to those ranked higher. Eleven players are between the ages of 30-34, 11 are in the 25-29 age range and three players are 24 or younger.
As for the position breakdown, there are two relievers, two starting pitchers, one catcher, two third basemen, one shortstop and one DH. Nine players are outfielders, either at one outfield position or multiple, while another five are “utility” players, which for this purpose means they can play at least one infield and one outfield position.

Welcome back to another week of Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025. The spotlight turns to shortstops this week.
Unlike second base, which has a pretty steep drop off in talent outside the top 15 or so players, the shortstop position is loaded with talent, the type of talent that is ranked among the best in baseball, not just this position. The players ranked in Tier 2 will still provide solid production and that continues into the players ranked in Tier 3.
And this talent is young. Of the 30 players ranked in Tiers 1 through 3, 23 of them are under the age of 30. Missing out on a Tier 1 player is not going to cripple your team.
Now, let’s get to the rankings.

Now that we’ve recapped the top 20 catchers, top 20 1st basemen and top 20 2nd basemen, we’re starting to see clarity on depth of positions, and shortstops are robust, and they will metaphorically eat. Mookie Betts was a top three 2nd baseman, here he’s scrapping the bottom of the top 10. That’s stacked. So, here’s the final ranking […]
