Tulowitzki Falls to Number Three of the Best Shortstops of 2010

Four out of the top five shortstops have remained on the list since early June. Out of the four players that have remained, three of them have moved in the standings. There is a new number one, read on to see who it is!

3. Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies: Tulowitzki fell down from number one to number three this time around. Back on June 21, Tulowitzki was hitting .306 with nine home runs and 34 RBI’s. Now on August 2, Tulowitzki’s average only dropped one point to .305, he still has nine home runs and only improved his RBI total by seven to 41. The reason for these numbers is that he was on the disabled list for 33 games with a fractured left wrist after being hit by a pitch. If it wasn’t for the injury, Tulowitzki may still be at the number one spot. The Rockies are looking to Tulowitzki to help them make the playoffs now that he is playing again. The Rockies are currently in third place in their division, seven games behind the Padres. The NL West is going to be interesting the next two months with four teams that all have a chance at making the playoffs.

Troy Tulowitzki Makes #1 of the Best Shortstops of 2010

Only one of the big three shortstops remain, Derek Jeter. Nomar Garciapara retired this year and Alex Rodriguez moved over to third base when he came to the Yankees. Now when people ask who the premier shortstops are? They struggle to get two or three names out. I somehow came up with the top five shortstops of 2010, it was a struggle, but here they are.

1. Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies: After having a down year two years ago Tulowitzki rebounded to have his best season ever last year. Tulowitzki is doing more of the same this year landing the number one spot this year so far. Tulowitzki is the only everyday shortstop in all of baseball this year that is currently hitting over .300. Tulowitzki is hitting .306 with nine home runs and 34 RBI’s. Tulowitzki’s power numbers are somewhat down so far this year, but he makes up for it by having the best average among shortstops. The Rockies are in fourth place right now but are only four games out of first place. If Tulowitzki finds his power stroke like last year, he can lead the team into the playoffs.

Tulowitzki named NL Player of the Week

Troy Tulowitzki is on pace to have one of the best seasons ever by a shortstop.

That brilliant campaign notched another highlight last week, and it led to yet another one on Monday, when — thanks in large part to a home run streak that put him in rarefied air — the Rockies’ infielder was named National League Player of the Week, presented by Bank of America.

Tulowitzki homered in four consecutive games from Tuesday-Saturday, becoming the first shortstop to accomplish that feat since Miguel Tejada did it in 2005. Also, the 24-year-old hit .391 (9-for-23) last week, and his four homers and eight runs scored tied for the Major League lead.
