Justin Mason Second Base Ranks: 3/12/21

March 12, 2021

Drafts are in full swing and now I am 15+ drafts into the season, here are my current ranks for the second base position for 2021. I will post updates as things change with signings, injuries, or news in Major League Baseball.

See my other ranks here: C 1B 2B SS 3B OF SP RP

Rk	Player	Team	Position(s)	ADP	Notes
1	Ozzie Albies	ATL	2B	36.33	Safe floor for a guy that is only 24 with upside too.
2	DJ LeMahieu	NYY	1B, 2B, 3B	34.18	Landing back in New York was the best case scenario.
3	Whit Merrifield	KC	2B, OF	39.73	Pretty much a lock for a good average and speed with enough pop to play
4	Brandon Lowe	TB	2B, OF	73.12	Few barrel the ball like him. Power, decent speed and batting high in a good lineup.
5	Keston Hiura	MLW	2B	69.14	Power and speed with an awful approach. Will add 1B eligibility quickly.
6	Cavan Biggio	TOR	2B, 3B, OF	66.47	Some concerns about where he hits in this lineup has me a bit concerned.
7	Max Muncy	LAD	1B, 2B, 3B	103.08	Playoff performance makes me feel better about the disappointing 2020.
8	Jose Altuve	HOU	2B	97.29	Monster postseason makes lessens some of the regular season concerns.
9	Mike Moustakas	CIN	1B, 2B	121.45	Moose should bounceback after a weird and disappointing 2020.
10	Ketel Marte	ARZ	2B	82.45	I am concerned about his healthy and the power outage in 2020.
11	Dylan Moore	SEA	2B, OF	128.47	The hype is real, but the floor is just as low as the ceiling is high.
12	Tommy Edman	STL	2B, 3B, SS, OF	128.2	I think there is enough pop and speed with a great flexibility.
13	Jeff McNeil	NYM	2B, 3B, OF	91.41	The power outage and 0-for-2 on the basepathes has me very scared.
14	Andres Gimenez	CLE	2B, 3B, SS	161.94	Cleveland is a great landing spot for Gimenez.
15	Nick Solak	TEX	2B, OF	164.88	Price is rising, but the he should still be a decent value considering he has power and speed.
16	Jean Segura	PHI	2B, 3B	176.94	The stolen bases aren’t what they used to be, but he is a solid contributor.
17	Kolten Wong	MLW	2B	224.94	Love the move to Milwaukee. Better park and a team that runs.
18	Cesar Hernandez	CLE	2B	333.27	Resigning in Cleveland was perfect for him. Would like to see him start to run again.
19	Ryan McMahon	COL	1B, 2B, 3B	220.33	Swing change has me bought back in again.
20	Nick Madrigal	CWS	2B	181.98	I am worried about the shoulder and question how much he will run.
21	Garrett Hampson	COL	2B, OF	256.86	Is it finally Hampson SZN? I still don’t trust the Rockies.
22	Chris Taylor	LAD	2B, SS, OF	223.9	Taylor always seems to outproduce his ADP and he should play close to everyday.
23	Jonathan Schoop	DET	2B	317	Underrated complier.
24	Jon Berti	MIA	2B, OF	265.63	His versatility in the field should get him enough playing time to let his speed play.
26	Jonathan Villar	NYM	2B, SS	198.45	Awful landing spot for Villar makes it hard to draft him.
27	David Fletcher	LAA	2B, 3B, SS	238.67	Going to lead off, but has no power or speed.
28	Mauricio Dubon	SF	2B, SS, OF	280.8	I think he will play a lot, but he is a future utility guy.
29	Starlin Castro	WAS	2B	310.57	Some power with a decent average in the heart of a good lineup.
30	Gavin Lux	LAD	2B	250.53	Recent comments have me excited he might actually play.
30	Ty France	SEA	2B	311.98	Finally has a full time role, but I don’t think that will mean that much.
31	Jurickson Profar	SD	2B, OF	263.27	Playing time crunch in SD is a bit scary
31	Scott Kingery	PHI	2B, OF	309.41	Kingery has average and injury issues, but there is talent there.
32	Kike Hernandez	BOS	2B, OF	373.29	I think he signed in Boston because he will play everyday.
33	Jake Cronenworth	SD	1B, 2B, SS	227.29	No DH hurts him a lot.
34	Rougned Odor	TEX	2B	440.06	Power and speed, but now there is playing time concerns along with the average issues.
36	Niko Goodrum	DET	2B, SS	408.69	There is power and speed here, but the batting average and playing time are concerns.
37	Tommy La Stella	SF	1B, 2B	316.33	Might lead off in SF.
38	Nico Hoerner	CHC	2B, SS	416.02	Could accumalate in Chicago.
39	Adam Frazier	PIT	2B, OF	425.86	Will play and lead off in Pittsburgh until they trade him.
40	Donovan Solano	SF	2B	490.45	I am not a believer in Donnie Bats, but he should get first crack at full time playing time.
41	Nicky Lopez	KC	2B	637.31	Lopez is going to play, but does that matter?
42	Joey Wendle	TB	2B, 3B, SS	322.61	Strong side platoon is still a platoon.
43	Jazz Chisholm	MIA	2B, SS	452.55	There is power and speed, but will he strikeout too much.
44	Luis Urias	MLW	2B, 3B, SS	397.82	Should play every day, but bats at the bottom.
45	Freddy Galvis	BAL	2B, SS	428.16	Could compile just by playing every day.
46	Wilmer Flores	SF	1B, 2B	379.59	Playing time is an issue without a DH
47	Luis Arraez	MIN	2B	392.14	The Simmons signing hurts his playing time.
48	Isan Diaz	MIA	2B	615.92	Probably not a starter, but there is still talent there.
49	Brendan Rodgers	COL	2B	392.24	Is it finally his time?
50	Luis Garcia	WAS	2B	570.84	On the outside looking in.
