Fantasy Baseball 2012: Second Basemen Tiers
Your fantasy baseball draft(s) are right around the corner. Â Here’s my try at separating 25 second basemen into six tiers.
Tiers are very subjective and one player could easily be considered just good enough or just bad enough to be in the next higher or lower tier.
Let me know what you think and check out my fantasy baseball first basemen tiers.
Tier 1: Robinson Cano, Ian...

Tiers, Not Fears: Second Base
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...Photo Credit: Keith Allison
Second base has its appeal. The soft, bag of sand-like feel. The expression on her face when you move in unannounced on her unmentionables and proceed to pounce on her like a raccoon on a rotting pork shoulder… wait, we’re talking fantasy baseball?Oh, in that case, second base really isn’t that greatâ...

Fantasy Baseball Off-Season Report: Second Basemen
By Adam McGill
First, third base, and shortstop have always been the glamour positions in in the infield, but in the last five years, second basemen have finally been sending some balls out of the park. True fantasy contenders must have a decent 2B on their roster, as the position is really becoming a hidden source of homers.  Below is my off-season fantasy report for second...

Andre Ethier calls in to WEEI to prank Dustin Pedroia

Watch this at WEEI
If you follow this blog or know me personally you'll probably know that I'm a big listener of the Sports Hub and not a big fan of WEEI, while Tay is just the opposite. While I don't like many of the guys who work for WEEI (with the exception of Michael Holly) I will admit that they do have a pretty impressive lineup of guests...

Our 2012 keeper rankings focus on leagues that must gage the value of players for at least the next 3-5 years.
C – 1B – 2B – 3B – SS – OF – DH – SP - CL
While second base has some extremely talented hitters toward the top of the list, there are more than a few question marks as we get past the mid-way mark in the rankings.

Top 20 2nd Basemen for 2012 Fantasy Baseball
We continue our 2012 fantasy baseball rankings with the top 20 2nd basemen for 2012 fantasy baseball. There’s no 2nd baseman in the top 10 for 2012 fantasy baseball. At least by my calculation.

Keystone Keepers: Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Second Basemen in 2012
Photo taken from Google Images
Second base is an interesting position for fantasy baseball owners to be sure. There are very few elite players at the position (Robinson Cano andDustin Pedroia), so it is often a position that is left until the later rounds to be filled on most fantasy squads. As a result, finding a fantasy sleeper pick at second base can go a long way to...
