2017 Fantasy Baseball: Three to Add, Three to Keep, Three to Drop– Shortstops

2017 Fantasy Baseball: Shortstops L-V

Last time, we looked at the youngster shortstops that have been left undrafted. Today, we will look at the older shortstops in the same situation. Some of these folks are still relatively young (two are 27 and one 28), so calling them veterans is a bit of a misnomer. Some
