2011 Shortstops

1. Troy Tulowitzki (Col)  386
2. Hanley Ramirez (Fla) 374
3. Stephen Drew (Arz) 358
4. Jose Reyes (NY) 346
5. Alex Gonzalez (Atl) 343
6. Miguel Tejada (SF) 320
7. Yuniesky Betancourt (Mil) 294
8. Ryan Theriot (StL) 277
9. Jason Bartlett (SD) 257
10. Ian Desmond (Was) 254

Note: At first glance, it looks like this is a thin position. But when you consider that injuries limited three of the top four scorers to 142 games or fewer last season, the top scorers have more scoring potential. And there are three players who didn't make the top 10 because injuries limited their time on the field (LA's Rafael Furcal and Phi's Jimmy Rollins) or was a midseason callup (Cubs' Starlin Castro). Given those facts, there are a few 400-point potential players at shortstop and 10 solid 300-point potential players. But there are also players with inherent risks.
