February 4, 2015 Fantasy InfographicShortstopsHere’s the primer for this series. Notes Since PECOTA is now public, I can give you the tiers for how these rank out: Splits will be at the bottom. MASN Insider Matt Collins wrote this great piece comparing Starlin Castro and Alexei Ramirez. It’s well worth a read. The graphs illustrate how close the battle is with Castro holding an advantage in average and Ramirez holding an advantage in SB. I lean Castro because I think there’s still enough latent power potential to play up the advantage but it is very close. There are two graphs here that I particularly enjoy:
They’re polar opposites separated by a tier. The risk/reward is extreme with Baez and odds are if you’re planning on nabbing him at an acceptable price or in an appropriate round you won’t own him anywhere. Without further ado here are the charts.
Splits

Disagree on Lowrie. I have a feeling he will be able to hit 1st or second in houston this year, giving him above average run ability. The roster is filled with power/strikeout combos, and other than altuve I can't see much better option at the top of that lineup.
True, but this IS the ALstros... One will never know if it was Marquis Porter, or Jeff Lose-now, who came up with the BRILLIANT Experiment of hitting Carlos Pena Lead-off, just before he was given his Pink Slip back in '13.
