2B Rankings

1. Robinson Cano- Last year was NOT a fluke.

2. Chase Utley- The last three years, his average and slugging have dropped. He is a risky pick.

3. Dustin Pedroia

4. Dan Uggla- Any time you can get 30+ homers from your second baseman, you have to be satisfied. Even if he hits .250 this year, the power is worth it.

5. Brandon Phillips

6. Martin Prado

7. Kelly Johnson

8. Aaron Hill- He has shown the power the last two seasons. He hit .205 last year, but he should hit .280+ based on prior seasons.

9. Ben Zobrist- I expect his numbers to be partly 2010 and partly 2009.

10. Chone Figgins- At worst, you get 40 steals. At best, you get .290+, 40 steals, and 100 runs. I think he'll be the latter.

11. Brian Roberts- Roberts is a nice sleeper this year. Expect around 25 steals and possibly a .290 average.

12. Rickie Weeks- BUST ALERT!

13. Ian Kinsler- Too much of an injury risk.

14. Howard Kendrick

15. Gordon Beckham- A nice sleeper pick this year.
