Ranking the projected starting American League shortstops in 2019

1

Francisco Lindor, Indians

Lindor had his third-straight top-nine American League MVP finish as he was sixth in 2018. He led the league last year scoring 129 runs while also batting .277 with 38 homers, 42 doubles, and 25 stolen bases. The 25-year-old won a Gold Glove in 2016 and still excels in the field. A right calf strain will likely keep him out to begin the regular season. News5Cleveland reports how MLB Network named him the best shortstop in baseball.
