I will post the American League and National League 2008 fantasy baseball shortstop rankings here. I will also post the entire MLB universe fantasy rankings and these rankings will be updated regularly until first pitch 2008.

Remember when using these rankings that I am calculating value based on a 5X5 roto league with 12 teams.

* - Carlos Guillen will be playing first base for the Tigers in 2008, but will have shortstop eligibilty, in most leagues. He is a more valuable shortstop than a first baseman, and should be used as such, as long as he is eligible.
