One of my leagues is a straight points league, rather than head to head or rotisserie. The 2B position, with the exception of a few nice surprises, has been decimated by injury... along with Aaron Hill remembering that he is Aaron hill. Below were the leading point getters last year, along with thier average draft position this year, and the current point leaders for 2010:
2009 Leaders 2010 Avg Draft Pick 2010 Leaders 2010 Avg Draft Pick
1) Aaron Hill 49th 1) Robinson Cano 44th
2) Robinson Cano 44th 2) Martin Prado 214th
3) Chase Utley 5th 3) Rickie Weeks 117th
4) Ian Kinsler 18th 4) Brandon Phillips 42nd
5) Dustin Pedroia 27th 5) Dan Uggla 76th
6) Brian Roberts 48th 6) Kelly Johnson 216th
If you weren't smart enough to draft Cano, or lucky enough to get a bargain on Uggla, Pardo, or Weeks, it's very likely that your 2B situation has been a mess this year. Hill has completely disappeared off the face of the earth. Utley had an incredible start, had a huge slump, and then has been on the DL since late June. Kinsler is headed to his 2nd stint on the DL this year starting today. Pedroia is trying to come back from a broken foot. And Roberts has missed the first 3 1/2 months of the season and is currently hitting .194.
At the beginning of this year, 2B looked very deep. For those of you that waited on a 2B, good for you. The rest of us are trying to piece together an infield.
