Power hitting SS, huh?
If 2nd is so important, why aren't these people drafted as 2B? If second is so important, why do so many shortstops get moved there when they can't hack it at short, despite the fact that there are two shortstops with more than 16 homers this year?
Those are still the two positions with the least amount of power (outside of catcher) at the big league level, which was the entire point of my MI post (which you again weren't smart enough to understand, as I said "power hitters get moved to the corner infield or outfield because those are your power producing parts of the lineup".)
