Fantasy Preview: Second Baseman

The Studs:
Chase Utley- A legit first round pick, especially at a weak position
Brandon Phillips- Great year last year, possible repeat of 30/30 season and could reach 100 RBIs. Just as much power, and more speed than Utley.
BJ Upton- Although he will likely be playing OF this year, much more value at 2nd base. 25 HRs and steals are a possibility
Brian Roberts- Roberts gets the nod because he is a great steal threat, who once again could post 50 steals

The Sleepers:
Chone Figgins- Has a chance to steal as many, if not more bases than Roberts, and will likely hit for a higher average, although he is getting drafted much lower (20 picks) becuase he doesn't have a lot of power, but that can be found elsewhere
Kelly Johnson- Double digit SB and could hit around 20 HRs and is getting picked around 175 overall. Should score plenty of runs in front of Tex and Chipper
Howie Kendrick- Will produce just as well if not better than Robinson Cano, but he is getting picked about 60 picks later
Rickie Weeks- At this time you might not have any faith left in him, but I think he will rebound from his aweful year and hit 20 HRs while stealing 25 bases. Many others will be scared because of his poor performance, so he should be available at a bargain.

The Busts:
Kaz Matsui- After hitting .288 and stealing 32 bases last year, he reappeared on the fantasy map. I think he falls back to his old self with a much lower average, meaning less opportunities to steal, and decreasing his value
Dan Uggla- He is young and has great power for a second baseman, but his average tumbled to .245 last year, and I think that his power totals will fall as well, especially hitting in a weak lineup.
Ian Kinsler- 20/20 season last year, but something can be seen is his second half numbers, but he doesn't have that much power, so I don't think he will be able to repeat his performance.
Dustin Pedroia- Good BA and solid RBI, but someone will draft him too high because he is on the Red Sox, it has happened in all 5 of my drafts, and 2 mocks so far.
