Brandon Crawford, shortstop, San Francisco Giants
The thing that is most likable about Brandon Crawford is how undervalued he is. This is not a bad thing. He’s a number 19-ranked (ish) shortstop when it comes to average draft position if you’re a fantasy guy or girl.
But when it comes to his defense, he stands out.
Whether it’s a web-gem play or having a fielding Bible (DRS) average of 19.5 over the last two seasons, he gets the job done. He’s also the king of starting double plays.
He remains one of the best shortstops in the game, despite a minute amount of notoriety. But like previously mentioned players, that’s what makes him so great.
