Ride The WAVE - AL Central Shortstops

AVG/OBP/SLG, followed by AVG/Runs/HR/RBI/SB:

CHW: Orlando Cabrera - .291/.338/.396

• Cabrera moves to a better hitters park, but doesn't have as good of a supporting cast in Chicago. WAVE is projecting .291/94/8/77/22 in 609 AB.

CLE: Jhonny Peralta - .273/.342/.440

• Many thought that Jhonny would hit for a higher AVG in the Majors after batting .326 as a 22 year old in AAA in 2004, but it hasn't happened. He seems to have settled in as a .270/20 HR type, still plenty valuable as a fantasy SS. WAVE: .273/86/20/73/2 in 557 AB.

DET: Edgar Renteria - .304/.365/.432

• Renteria struggled in his first go in the AL, but should fare much better his second time around in the potent DET lineup. WAVE pegs him at .304/91/11/62/12 in 546 AB.

KC: Tony Pena - .256/.277/.343

• An all-glove type who should be avoided in all but the deepest of AL-only leagues. WAVE projects .256/72/3/55/6 in 554 AB.

MIN: Adam Everett - .236/.279/.340

• Everett and Pena will battle it out for worst offensive SS in the AL Central. Unless Everett reverts back to stealing 20 bases, he's virtually useless in standard fantasy leagues. There's also the chance that Alexi Casilla finally steps up and takes a MI position, relegating Everett to utility man status. WAVE: .236/45/7/44/11 in 509 AB.
