Second base is no longer a fantasy black hole. It features an annual star and former MVP in Jose Altuve, a near-MVP and rising sensation in Javier Baez, and one of the league’s premier rate/speed specialists in Whit Merrifield. It has a couple of surefire investments at their expected draft-day price tags in Scooter Gennett, Travis Shaw and Daniel Murphy. As we discussed in our Boring All-Star Team column Robinson Canó is wildly underappreciated at this stage of his career. Jonathan Villar and Dee Gordon can both still steal a ton of bases, certainly enough to overlook some of their obvious warts.
Jose Altuve is Still the King, but Second Base is Getting Stronger in Fantasy Leagues
