That’s right, it’s finally Fantasy Baseball draft season! While some of us degenerates were drafting back in October and November, January is the first month where fantasy baseball drafts really kick into high gear. We here at FantraxHQ have been pumping out a ton of great content all offseason long and now are diving head-first into our 2021 Fantrax Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit. A big part of any draft kit is rankings, and we’re continuing our staff consensus rankings for 2021 with our fantasy baseball second base rankings.
Below you’ll find the consensus rankings that nine of our MLB writers were involved in. Those being Eric Cross, Chris Clegg, Mick Ciallela, Justin Johnson, Jorge Montanez, David Mendelson, Micah Henry, Nic Civale, and Dave Swan. Each writer provided anywhere from 40-60 first basemen so we could create our consensus top-40.
This position is full of question marks from top to bottom. Does DJ leave NY? Can we trust Lowe and Biggio? Can Hiura bounceback? Is Altuve done? See, so many questions and that’s just in the top 10. Hopefully, these rankings can help guide you in the right direction for all of your drafts. Enjoy!
What?! Your league is not planning on using Fantrax? Inconceivable! Check out everything Fantrax has to offer and I’m sure you’ll come around to our way of thinking.
