J.J. Hardy hits for power and drives in runs better than most shortstops rated ahead of him.

J.J. Hardy, Brewers

Average position ranking on other popular fantasy baseball sites: 13

Why he's not liked: He stole only two bases at a position at which nine players compiled at least 20.

Why he should be: In just his second full season, Hardy hit more home runs (26) than any shortstop but Jimmy Rollins, Hanley Ramirez and Khalil Greene, and his 80 RBI ranked eighth. He had 17 more runs scored and eight more homers than Miguel Tejada. If you’d rather start Orlando Cabrera, be my guest.
