2014 Fantasy Baseball: Disappointments — Second Basemen
It’s certainly interesting looking at fantasy baseball through the prism of disappointments. Obviously there are disappointments at every position, but it is also interesting that some positions disappoint as a whole. Nowhere is that more true than second base (and third base which we will see next). While every position
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Breakout Players — Second Basemen
Every position goes through ebs and flows just like pitchers and hitters do in general. Second base is going through a down period at the moment. Most of the big time stars from the previous decade are either out of the game or are no longer elite players. Robinson Cano
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Real Offensive Value — Second Basemen, Part I
We continue the yo-yoing through positions when we move to second base. We saw how different first base was from catcher and now we move to the other extreme with second basemen. For those that haven’t checked out this series before today, we are chiefly concerned with a statistic called

2014 Fantasy Baseball: Is Jose Altuve Overvalued?
I had an interesting twitter exchange with another fantasy writer this week and it got me to thinking. He assumed that I was a fantasy writer first and a sabermetrician second. Actually, the reverse is quite true. It’s difficult sometimes to separate the two and when we fail, we usually
Total Run Index: Substitution Value – Second Basemen
Past is prologue. The past is the best predictor of the future, but there is no perfect predictor of the future. So, when I think about total run index (TRI) and its use in fantasy sports, I have to consider the limitations. For anyone that studies sabermetrics, there are two
2014 Fantasy Baseball: Total Run Index – TRI vs. ADP Second Base
A wise man once said that you should always go with the devil you know over the devil you don’t know. Apparently, the early drafters in fantasy baseball don’t agree at the second base position. We can see two players that have virtually no experience at the big league level
2013 Fantasy Baseball, Total Run Series: Second Basemen
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
