BUSTS
Desmond almost got his 20 homers finishing with 19, but his steals fell to 13 and his average was down to .233 with 62 RBIs. Dreadful given his stature and previous levels of production.
Ramirez failed to reach 450 at-bats for a third straight season. He also went 19/6 with a .249 average and 53 RBIs in a dreadful season in his first year at Fenway.
Reyes had a .688 OPS, including a .310 OBP. He stole 24 bases but only appeared in 116 games, scoring 57 runs. Just cannot be trusted any longer.
Castro hit only .265 with 52 runs scored in his worst season to date. But he hit .369 with five homers and 21 RBIs over his last 27 games, finally offering something.
Rollins' luck finally ran out. Year after year he defied Father Time. No more. He was injured late in the year and lost his starting spot to Corey Seager. Rollins hit 13 homers with 12 steals and 71 runs scored. He hit .224 with a .285 OBP.
Segura hit just .257 and his OBP was .281. Nothing good about that. He also hit a mere six homers with 57 runs scored. The 25 steals tied for the positional lead, but that was all he had to offer.
Simmons is a wizard with the glove. His bat was MIA all year long. His OPS was .660, he hit four homers and stole five bases. When those are your numbers, 44 RBIs and 60 runs scored don’t get it done.
SURPRISES
Crawford had 84 RBIs to lead the position and he was second with 21 big flies. His average fell all the way to .265 with a slow fade, and his OBP was down to .321 by season's end, leading to just 65 runs scored for the Giants shortstop. Overall, an extremely impressive season given expectations.
Yunel Escobar (ranked 28th) had the best season of his career. He led NL shortstops with a .314 average. He also scored 75 runs and rocked a .375 OBP. A career .281 hitter with a .350 
OBP… Escobar was nails and played third base to boot.
Carlos Correa (35th) led the position with 22 homers despite just 387 at-bats. He was called up way sooner than most expected, including me, and he produced to beat up big league hurlers like a pro. His 99-game pace would lead 33 homers, 21 steals and 103 runs scored to over 150 games.
Jose Iglesias (37th) hit .303 in 2013. He missed 2014 with injury. He returned in 2015 to hit .300. He also stole 11 bases, though he was caught eight times, and he somehow had 454 plate appearances and produced a mere two homers and 23 RBIs.
Marwin Gonzalez (42nd) hit .279 with 12 homers and a .759 OPS over 370 plate appearances. He was a start in league-specific setups given that he cost nothing. He also appeared in 43 games at first, 15 at second, 21 at third, 32 at short and 15 times in the outfield.
