This is how I think they will fair at a quick glance.
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS MARK LORETTA? He had the third best average in the ENTIRE NL last year, not to mention over 100 runs scored. And Eric Young is a freaking backup on our team this year.

Unfortunately, Cintron shouldn't qualify for 2B this coming season. 9 GP, 5 GS at second.
True. But with Clayton coming and Counsell back in town Cintron--assuming that he even gets an everyday job--will be at 2nd.
Bluto: Over? Did you say over? NOTHING is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL, NO!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
No Loretta? What a joke. Loretta had the highest average for a 2b by 28 points last year, not to mention the most runs for a second-baseman (not including Michael Young, a shortstop), the highest OPS for a second-baseman, 76rbi and 17 homeruns...all when the rest of the lineup had an off year last year. And he's not even in your top 20? Shows how out of touch some fans are with the game.
And where the hell is Brian Roberts on this list? Roberts was a stud last year as well.

First off people, Young doesn't qualify at 2nd anymore so stop putting him in. And does EVERYONE forget about Chone Figgins? I've seen like 5 top 20s that don't even have him! He plays 3 positions, has been guaranteed playing time, steals around 30+, will have a .300 or close to it average, and probably score 100 runs. Id say thats better than what Jerry Hairston, Roberto Alomar or Tadahito Iguchi gives you. Hes also better than Luis Castillo.
