Shortstop should be one of the first positions filled in a majority of fantasy baseball drafts.
A trio of shortstops, led by Francisco Lindor, are the preferred options once Mike Trout, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Christian Yelich are off the board. Lindor, Trevor Story and Trea Turner could be selected in succession if owners do not want to go after elite starting pitchers in the middle of the opening round.
In the case of Lindor and Story, there is a possibility for owners to take teammates on the left side of the infield with their first two picks.
