March 15, 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	Jose Ramirez	CLE	3B	11.4	Easily a top 10 pick in fantasy this year.
2	Manny Machado	SD	3B	24.33	In spite of what people think, he has never been anything but a stud.
3	Anthony Rendon	LAA	3B	43.54	Safe floor and high ceiling
4	DJ LeMahieu	NYY	1B, 2B, 3B	33.58	Landing back in New York was the best case scenario.
5	Nolan Arenado	STL	3B	35.15	I don’t think the regression will be as bad as others do.
6	Rafael Devers	BOS	3B	44.54	At somepoint he will hit 40+ bombs.
7	Eugenio Suarez	CIN	3B	83.23	Power is legit, but that batting average cratering is scary.
8	Alex Bregman	HOU	3B	46	Could be a guy that is hurt by the change in the ball. Could easily move him down further.
9	Yoan Moncada	CWS	3B	82.63	COVID sapped him, but supposedly he is good to go.
10	Cavan Biggio	TOR	2B, 3B, OF	59.75	Some concerns about where he hits in this lineup has me a bit concerned.
11	Max Muncy	LAD	1B, 2B, 3B	103.37	Playoff performance makes me feel better about the disappointing 2020.
12	Alec Bohm	PHI	1B, 3B	104.98	Perfect mix of upside and safe floor.
13	Ke’Bryan Hayes	PIT	3B	139.87	Was really impressive in his small sample.
14	Matt Chapman	OAK	3B	117.6	Injuries hurt him in 2020, but if healthy, he is a solid power bat that plays everyday.
15	Andres Gimenez	CLE	2B, 3B, SS	153.79	Cleveland is a great landing spot for Gimenez.
16	Kris Bryant	CHC	3B	136.12	Last year was disappointing, but as long as he is healthy, he should rebound.
17	Jeff McNeil	NYM	2B, 3B, OF	89.25	The power outage and 0-for-2 on the basepathes has me very scared.
18	Tommy Edman	STL	2B, 3B, SS, OF	126.02	I think there is enough pop and speed with a great flexibility.
19	Josh Donaldson	MIN	3B	205.75	Health is the only thing I am worried about.
20	Justin Turner	LA	3B	217.17	Back to LA was the best fit.
21	Jean Segura	PHI	2B, 3B	188.29	The stolen bases aren’t what they used to be, but he is a solid contributor.
22	Gio Urshela	NYY	3B	159.98	Expected to play this week which is a relief.
23	Austin Riley	ATL	3B	204.81	Still young enough to improve.
24	Brian Anderson	MIA	3B	219.44	Boring name matches a boring profile.
25	J.D. Davis	NYM	3B, OF	232.56	Rumors of the Mets wanting to trade for a 3B and no DH makes me worried about his playing time.
26	Eduardo Escobar	ARZ	3B	283.4	He isn’t as bad as he was in 2020 and not as good as he was in 2019.
27	Ryan McMahon	COL	1B, 2B, 3B	250.96	The Swing change has me buying back in.
28	Isiah Kiner-Falefa	TEX	3B, SS	287.02	Locked into playing time now.
29	David Fletcher	LAA	2B, 3B, SS	221.87	Going to lead off, but has no power or speed.
30	Carter Kieboom	WAS	3B	425.25	I still believe in the talent and the price is right.
31	Willi Castro	DET	3B, SS	251.25	Showed more pop than I thought was there and seems to be backing it up in spring.
32	Kyle Seager	SEA	3B	258.02	Compiler that should produce just enough.
33	Jeimer Candelario	DET	1B, 3B	242.73	Going to hit fifth and should accumlate a decent enough stats to be usable.
34	Joey Wendle	TB	2B, 3B, SS	306.23	Strong side platoon is still a platoon.
35	Maikel Franco	BAL	3B	433.08	Gets a huge bump with a job in Baltimore.
36	Yandy Diaz	TB	3B	431.08	I don’t think we ever see the upside his muscles say is there.
37	Evan Longoria	SF	3B	363.48	Injuries and platoon issues drops him a ton.

39	Erik Gonzalez	PIT	3B, SS	540.44	Will play everyday in Pittsburgh, but there is limited upside.
40	Mike Brosseau	TB	1B, 2B, 3B	421.04	May get more time with Choi down
41	Matt Carpenter	STL	3B	544.35	No longer a starter with no DH in the NL.
42	Edwin Rios	LAD	3B	316.02	Buried with Turner resigning.
43	David Bote	CHC	2B, 3B	458.63	Super Utility guy that will have deep league value.
44	Marwin Gonzalez	BOS	1B, 2B, 3B, OF	475.87	Super Utility guy in Boston
45	Josh Harrison	WAS	2B, 3B	605.92	Insurance for Kieboom.

47	Rio Ruiz	BAL	3B	491.75	Playing time is an issue with Franco signing in Baltimore.
48	Nolan Gorman	STL	3B	736.29	The Arenado signing blocks him, but he is ready offensively.
49	Abraham Toro	HOU	3B	645.83	Blocked, but I think he has some skills.
