Second Basemen and Shortstops are two of the most difficult positions to find great value in. They're better than catchers in that they play almost every game and their knees actually function well enough to move them, often times with great speed. That being said, a middle infielder's greatest assets are stolen bases and run generating ability. Keep this in mind when drafting, it may just blow your mind: The average number of home runs hit by the Top 300 position players in the major leagues is 14. The average number of stolen bases by the same is 7. 132 of those 300 players hit 14 or more home runs, almost half of them. But, only 90 stole 7 or more bases. That's less than a third. Only 27 players averaged 20 or more stolen bases over the last 3 seasons, 12 of those were middle infielders. What does that mean? It means that stolen bases are the most undervalued category in fantasy baseball. When the Top 300 position players in fantasy baseball stole a total of 2256 bases, and the Top 10 base stealers stole 21% of those bases, sounds to me like grabbing a couple of speedsters real quick should be a pretty big priority. Anyways, I didn't mean to get on my stolen base soapbox again. Here's some sleepers and busters:
