September Shortstop Rankings
Here are some final-month rankings. I’m a little short on comments, since I’ll be hopping on a plane awfully early Monday morning. Please try not to get too bent out of shape if your star player isn’t listed where you like ... anything can happen in a month.
As always, players are ranked by position and then combined into an overall top 300 list.

I don’t really think Jackson Holliday is coming up, but just in case the Orioles give him the call, he comes in at No. 56 this month. Even at age 19, I think he’d hold his own, given the chance. Still, that wouldn’t necessarily make him a better option than the Orioles’ current infield options.
