Help with 2B rankings

[guest]

Looking at the position for 2004 it looks like after about the top 10 guys the position really thins out. I'm in a 10 team non-keeper league and each team needs 2 2B. Could somebody rank the top 20, or give an idea as to who the better sleepers will be this year. Thanks

Heres the top ten
Soriano
B Boone
Kent
Castillo
Giles
Young
Vidro
Loretta
Kennedy

[Mr. Smithers]

This is list of just pure 2b if I added guys that are eligable but dont play 2nd it could change a little bit.

1 Soriano
2 B Boone
3 M Young
4 Kent
5 Castillo
6 Vidro
7 Giles
8 Harriston
9 Durham
10 Walker
11 Figgins
12 E Young

This is how I think they will fair at a quick glance.

Are they sure that Reyes is going to play second??

[trevisc]

matsui sure isn't going to move there!

In spring training, Matsui & Reyes are going to be fighting for SS. Whoever wins gets it, the loser goes to 2B.

Some names you might consider who aren't on most top 12 lists:

Jimenez -- Leading off in one of the best hitting parks with a good lineup hitting behind him should enable him to put up good numbers. He does a bit of everything too. Top sleeper.

Hudson -- A forgotten player but he has talent. He could be a 15/15 player this year. He won't be great, but could be a good backup pick.

Cintron -- The kid can hit. He may not steal you many bases, but could be a consistent .300, 15-20 homer guy.

Polanco -- Keeps getting better and better. Hit 14 homers in less than 500 at bats with 14 sb's. With a full slate of AB's, could approach the 20/20 club. With Bell coming back, though, could take some at bats away. In a more hitting friendly park, he could be a nice surprise.

Spivey -- Very nice comeback candidate.

Absolutely no way do you draft Young over Kent. I might draft Kent over Boone, too. Other than that, I won't argue too much with your list.

Unfortunately, Cintron shouldn't qualify for 2B this coming season. 9 GP, 5 GS at second.
