Fantasy Analysis
Eckstein won't be playing baseball any longer but he went a long way to proving that you didn't need to be the prototypical athlete to excel in MLB. He won two World Series titles as a starting SS and finished his career with a higher bWAR than Jason Bay or Justin Morneau current have. Clearly, he has no Fantasy value remaining.
