I'll continue tomorrow by discussing National League Second Basemen with double-digit Positive Draft Value.

Today's Fantasy Rx: Based on each player's keeper potential heading into his sophomore season in the majors, select rookie second basemen in the following order in minor league drafts (I've included the preferred round price for Ultra leagues): Mike Fontenot($5) and Robinson Cano($2). The surprisingly poor crop of upper-level AL second rookie second basemen results from most of the best infield prospects remaining at shortstop as long as possible. With many AL starting second basemen still short of their primes, don't expect anyone discussed here other than Fontenot and possibly Cano to win starting jobs within the next few years.
