	Shortstop - BR Bullpen
		The shortstop (abbreviated SS and position 6 when scoring) is the infielder who plays close to and on the left side of second base.
		The shortstop needs to have as much range as a second baseman and as strong a throwing arm as a third baseman, which is why the position is generally regarded as the most difficult infield position.
		Many second and third basemen are initially drafted as shortstops and moved to the other position, but it is rare for second or third basemen to be moved to shortstop.

		When in position A and the batter hits a single, you must hustle into the infield so as to lead the runner to 2nd if he tries to stretch the hit into a double.
		Most base umpires believe that hustle is required only from position A since your station in the infield on positions B and C require little movement to make a call at any base.
		With a runner on 2nd and a ground ball to the left side of the infield, the plate umpire should watch the first baseman's pulled foot on a throw there and also cover 3rd in case the runner attempts to advance on the throw.

		Figgins, who may be the fastest man in baseball, is the starting center fielder for the Angels, but has played 6 positions and is hitting.297, second in triples with 14, and 4th in stolen bases with 25.
		He played in the World Series in 2002 with the Angels and hit.667 in the postseason, plays all 4 infield positions and is known as a scrapper.
		Add to that the fact that both middle infield positions will be platooned, at least while the season is young, which is not conductive to crisp double plays, not to mention consistency on cut-offs, coverage and positioning.

	Baseball Examiner -- Scouting FAQ
		Grading a player’s fielding incorporates the hands, feet, positioning, reaction to ground balls or fly balls, etc. A player’s arm is graded separately.
		If he is kept in the infield, his average arm strength is the only tool that might force him to the right side of second base if there is a stronger and better defensive shortstop on the roster.
		Note that hitting is the most desired tool at each position except the traditionally defensive-oriented positions of catcher, shortstop and centerfield which each have fielding first.

		And with Crosby set to man the shortstop position for the next six seasons and Ellis and new acquisition Keith Ginter poised to handle the second base spot this year, the A’s aren’t looking for any immediate impact prospects at short or second right now.
		Scouts point to his height (5’9’’) and weight (195) as signs that he will eventually be too immobile to man a middle infield position defensively.
