National League Fantasy Shortstop Preview
National League Fantasy Shortstop Preview
By Steve Visconti | Published  03/16/2007 | NL Fantasy Shortstop Preview - (2007) , National League Fantasy Previews
Renteria is at home in the NL

 
 Renteria is much more comfortable in the NL and will be a serviceable mixed option

7. Edgar Renteria, Atlanta Braves

Edgar Renteria did what seemingly everyone does when they come into Atlanta. He came from a situation where he was in over his head, and had a renaissance of sorts, and ended up having his best season since 2003. He's going to be a borderline hall of famer someday, and hopefully voters will look to his return to the NL as a changing point. He stole bases in double digits again, had his highest rate stats since his big '03 campaign, and even managed to hit the most HRs since 2000, when he was just 24 years old. At the age of 31 history tells us that Renteria is begiinning his physical decline but he's still a solid mixed league option .He'll record double digit stolen bases, hit for power, and be a very serviceable shortstop for fantasy owners.

8. Khalil Greene, San Diego Padres

Yeah, about that.*nervously scratches head*.Greene isn't that bad, but this is kind of where the list tails off.With that being said, here's a guy that will consistently post OPS' in the .750's with 15 HRs, obviously hindered by his home park, as was evidenced by his .863 OPS on the road last year. For starters, his OBA over the last two seasons reads: .296 and .320 respectively.He'll continue to hit for averages in mid .250's.He doesn't walk too much, and doesn't steal any notable bases.But hey, he hits 15 HR a year, that's something, right?

9. Rich Aurilia, San Francisco Giants

His rate statistics were his highest since he hit 37 HRs in 2001.He kept his K rate very low for what we're used to from him, too (Just 10.6%).He had a monster second half in which he slugged .547, but much of that was done in The Great American Ballpark.When he goes to a hitter's purgatory like San Francisco this April, will his hot streak continue? His BB rate was very low, but it's not as if his OBA suffered much.He still really can't hit righties very well, with an OPS of just .755 against them.
