The Rock Star shortstop is Troy Tulowitzki

Shocking, I know.  Troy Tulowitzki is still relatively young and probably hasn't even peaked yet.  Good days are ahead assuming there are no major health issues.  As of now, I fully expect Tulo to become a Hall of Famer especially since Barry Larkin just got elected and I consider Tulo at least as good as Larkin with the potential to become much better.  I know a couple of bloggers that are probably foaming at the mouth at that last comment, but I am not saying Larkin was not a great shortstop or a Hall of Famer.  I just think Tulo can be a step above him in the long run.  As far as depth in the minors, the Rockies have a couple of top shortstops prospects (Josh Rutledge, Trevor Story) that really need to learn how to play 2nd base very well if they want to play in Denver, but I suspect one if not both will eventually be traded for help elsewhere.  This completes the Rock Star infield with four unanimous selections.  I'm not sure whether that is a good thing, because while it means there was one overall best player, it also means that there was pretty much only one choice for most positions.
