NL-only Shortstop: ideas needed

[james33]

NL-only SS looks ugly this year. In the mock 1 as of this writing, 161 players have been picked, so figure roughly 80 national leaguers...and just 3 NL shortstops (Seager #50; Russell #119; Reyes #127)...and in dynasty leagues surely the top 2 are keepers.

The exodus of roto talent during the offseason (after losing Tulo in-season): Starlin Castro, Desmond, Rollins.

The inflow: Alexei Ramirez...but from a HR park to Petco...and Asdrubel Cabrera.

(Did I miss anyone?)

Some ugly options, especially in the NL East (Aybar/Hechevarria/Asdrubel Cabrera/Galvis/Espinosa says rosterresource). And a couple of the better players (Reyes & Kang) have suspension or injury concerns.

Strategy thoughts?

Any $1 options you like?

A cheap combo of Villar + Arcia could be a good play.

Segura/Turner/Crawford/Peralta/Cozart/Story/Hanson

The 24 year old Chris Owings might be worth a flyer.

Isn't Segura going to take Owings PT?

I love Crawford, or any SS hitting in the 6 hole instead of 8th

Owings qualifies at ss but will move to 2b with Segura at ss.

Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised to see Owings coming off the bench. It's not clear yet how this will settle.

Great ideas all. Villar does seem intriguing for cheap.

Agree. But Owings $1?

It's dependent on one's league parameters.
