Justin Mason’s 2022 Second Base Ranks: 1/20/22
2021 is over and we turn the page to 2022. Here are my current ranks for the second base position for 2022, my second of the offseason. I will post updates as things change with signings, injuries, or news in Major League Baseball. On the Sleeper and the Bust Patreon, you can see the rankings updated live and notes for each player will be added this week.

Muncy at 36? That must be a mistake.
He’s currently injured and its unknown if he’ll be ready to start the season.
Sure, that unknown drops him from around #7 to maybe #15…but #36? You’d really rather draft Ha Seong Kim or Cesar Hernandez?
Ya his status is unknown….but it is still Muncy. He could be a league winner at current ADP
Senzel eligible for this list or OF only?
Good job. The 2 guys that could fly up or down in rankings are Max Muncy depending on injury recovery, and Andres Gimenez who could be full time and steal 30 bases, but who could also be platooned, hit for a low average and not be worth much.
Lowe seems low(e). Every year he’s been good, and killed it last year after the first two months. Even including those first two months, that’s 2020 and 2021 where he has been star level with the bat.
Embrace the value buys of most publications under-rating Rays players
I like Ty France at #23…does he have enough power and OBP to make up for his lack of speed? Will the Mariner’s offense be better in 2022?
He does everything Cronenworth does, just10 spots later. Wrist injury hiding how good he was last year. 2022 = .280, 27 HR 90R 90RBI
He gets HBP all the time. He tied the leagues’ lead with something like 27. The dude gets banged up by taking plunks. Just beware those injuries can happen and slow him down. He is an accumulator so there are risks.
Gleyber Torres was a game short of the 20 and seems likely to be back at second full time this year. Where would he slot on this list?
On the SS list, he’s between Urias and Rodgers (both players are 2B and SS eligible). So that would mean in the high teens here.
