Second base has been one of the more interesting positions in fantasy baseball this season. Seven players in the current top twenty were drafted in the top 100 selections. None of them registered as the number one second baseman to this point of the season. Developments like this are interesting to say the least and they have a profound impact on not only the regular baseball season, but the fantasy baseball season as well.

Who would have guessed that a waiver wire pickup would propel more teams to the playoffs than a player like Robinson Cano? It just goes to show that you can help your team plenty by paying attention to the waiver wire. In order to help you navigate through the remaining total runs series articles, a couple of changes have been made.

First, instead of ranking the players purely by position, we have thrown in the preseason overall rankings according to Yahoo. Considering that most ten team leagues have 24 rounds, when you see a player 250 or above you can surmise that they were waiver wire selections in most leagues. When we start getting above 500 we are really looking at some deep hibernators in your league. Again, it pays to pay attention.

The second change will be a comment section in the table so that I could leave a little comment on each player. As much as I would love to write a paragraph on each player, most internet sites are not big on 2000 word articles. The alternative would be to comment on a few players as I have. That’s not really fair to the rest of them. I like to let the numbers do the talking anyway.
