2018 Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: Top prospects at each position

Scott White published his Top-100 Fantasy baseball prospects column earlier this week, and if you read it, you probably noticed one thing pretty quickly: It's very heavy on pitchers and outfielders. That's not terribly surprising, given the makeup of Fantasy leagues, where at least 14 of your 23 starting players in a standard Roto league will be from one of those two positions. 

Still, you may be looking for help in your deeper, Dynasty or keeper leagues at a specific position, and you just may not have found what you needed. No worries. Scott's a good man – and thorough. He doesn't just do his top-100 prospects, he goes about 30 deep at every position (plus a lot more at pitcher and outfielder, obviously). There are plenty of talented players who have to get left on the cutting room floor, so we figured we'd pick them up and put together another list.

You won't get a breakdown of every player here like you do with Scott's top-100, so you should absolutely read that list. The whole thing. Here's the link again. (Find a comfortable chair). But, if you're looking for another shortstop or catcher to grab in your deep league, here are some suggestions:
