2024 Dynasty SS Targets
We have a loaded position here at Shortstop and there are a lot of studs among the top options. You have Corey Seager, Bobby Witt Jr., Trea Turner, and Gunnar Henderson to name a few. Those will likely cost you a buck more than you want to spend unless you were already sitting on them before their breakouts. Some are established vets and some are up-and-coming bonafide superstars. Some are regressing veterans and some are potential breakouts with elite tools we’ve yet to see carry over into a full-season worth of production.
We’ll go over some strategies and look at some sleepers at the position relative to their ADP. We’ll even look at some up-and-coming stars that might be priced high and weigh whether the risk is worth the reward.
As we did with our C & 1B Targets and with our 2B Targets, we’ll go over some second-half surges and second-half slumps to see who’s worth betting on for 2024 and beyond. After that, we’ll go over some sleepers & breakouts at the position who I think will be worth their cost or will outperform their cost. Let’s get started with the second-half (July 1st onward) surges from last year:
We have 14 players, some of whom had monstrous second halves and some of whom struggled mightily. They’re all roster-able pieces and we’ll go over the ones I think will continue this level of play and who I think will positively regress from their poor play in the second half last year. First, let’s take a look at who these 14 players are:
