Second base has been one of the thinner positions in baseball over the last couple of seasons in a large part because so many of the players are eligible at other positions. However, this year isn’t as bad as it has been previously with a number of older bounce-backs and young breakouts adding to the depth of the position.
The thing to be careful to keep track of at the position are the runs and drop-offs. There are only four elite options and they are all going in the top 40 picks. The top 15 second basemen by ADP are gone by pick 160. There are some really interesting sleeper picks, especially for those in shallower formats, but for those in deeper formats it becomes very thin in the later rounds of the draft.
