Austin Jackson -- OF -- Detroit Tigers 2009 Minor League Stats:  .300/.354/.405, 4 HR, 65 RBI, 67 runs, 24 steals   Scouting Report:  Jackson is an athlete learning to play baseball.  While he has an athletic build and is fleet afoot, he doesn't exactly offer big upside in either homers or steals.  Many scouts believe that Jackson's power will come but he isn't getting any help moving to Detroit's less HR friendly confines.  He has a mechanincally sound swing which has allowed him to hit for a high average in nearly all his minor league stops.  Jackson is projected as a quality leadoff hitting prospect and that is exactly what he'll do in Detroit.  If he can continue to develop a patient approach at the plate and draw walks to get on base he can be a steady contributor in runs scored, batting average and OBP. 
2010 Shortstop Rankings The days of seven or eight top quality shortstops at our disposal are over.  The backend of this position is so weak that the Kama Sutra no longer recognizes it.  With few real power sources to be had it is recommended that you use shortstop to secure some high end speed for your team this season.  There are quite a few shortstops capable of swiping 30+ bases this season while few outside of Hanley Ramirez will provide across the board production.  Taking one of the burners at this position would allow you to sit back until the middle rounds at least before drafting a shortstop for your fantasy team.  Here are the top 35 shortstops for your viewing enjoyment.
2010 Third Base Rankings The Hot Corner.  The position has certainly taken a few turns over the past five or six years.  At one time it was pretty loaded with talent, and then had a few years where there were only a couple of good options.  Right now it is kind of somewhere in between.  There are seven or eight really solid options, but not everyone in a 12 team leagues will have a solid option in their starting lineups so it is important to get your hands on someone that you can count on. There are also a few options of young guys who still have failed to live up to the hype who appear that they will get another chance in 2010.  Below are the top 30 options at third base for 2010 with their 2009 stats included.
