Seconbase is surprisingly deep with 3-4 category players but also deep with injury prone stars, up-and-down former All-Stars, and the ever-hopeful “breakout” player. Gonna keep this one short and skip to the rankings.
Here are my rankings for seconbasemen:
| Rank | Player | Tier |
| 1 | Robinson Cano | 1 |
| 2 | Chase Utley | 1 |
| 3 | Ian Kinsler | 1 |
| 4 | Dustin Pedroia | 2 |
| 5 | Dan Uggla | 2 |
| 6 | Rickie Weeks | 2 |
| 7 | Kelly Johnson | 3 |
| 8 | Ben Zobrist | 3 |
| 9 | Brandon Phillips | 3 |
| 10 | Martin Prado | 3 |
| 11 | Brian Roberts | 3 |
| 12 | Gordon Beckham | 3 |
| 13 | Aaron Hill | 4 |
| 14 | Ryan Raburn | 4 |
| 15 | Howie Kendrick | 4 |
| 16 | Chone Figgins | 4 |
| 17 | Neil Walker | 4 |
| 18 | Mike Aviles | 4 |
| 19 | Tsuyoshi Nishioka | 4 |
| 20 | Sean Rodriguez | 5 |
| 21 | Placido Polanco | 5 |
| 22 | Ty Wigginton | 5 |
| 23 | Juan Uribe | 5 |
| 24 | Reid Brignac | 5 |
| 25 | Eric Young Jr. | 5 |
| 26 | Alberto Callaspo | 5 |
| 27 | Orlando Hudson | 5 |
| 28 | Mark Ellis | 5 |
| 29 | Jed Lowrie | 5 |
| 30 | Danny Espinosa | 5 |
| 31 | Carlos Guillen | 6 |
| 32 | Freddy Sanchez | 6 |
| 33 | Ryan Theriot | 6 |
| 34 | Omar Infante | 6 |
| 35 | Dustin Ackley | 6 |
| Three I’d Reach For | Reason |
| Ian Kinsler | Injuries always hold him back but he has potential be the #1 2B in fantasy. 30/30 in 2009. |
| Ben Zobrist | Ugly BABIP in 2010 and could be a 20/20 guy that will contribute in 4-5 categories. |
| Ryan Raburn | Should be a very solid 4 category play. |
| Three I’ll Let Pass | Reason |
| Robinson Cano | I see him going in the top 15 in a lot of drafts and I would rather wait on Utley, Kinsler, or Weeks. |
| Brandon Phillips | Power and Speed dropping and he does not get on-base at a high clip. Hurts in OPS leagues. |
| Omar Infante | Won’t hit like he did last year and does not provide much outside of AVG. |
| Top 3 Rookie 2B | Reason |
| Tsuyoshi Nishioka | Should hit for AVG and could be a double digit contributor in homers and steals. |
| Danny Espinosa | Good power and some speed but will not hit for AVG or get on base at high clips. |
| Dustin Ackley | Best 2B prospect should see Bigs this season. |
