The Dodgers have not one but two second baseman in the top tier despite the fact that neither is really expected to see any time at the position. Trea Turner will slide over to shortstop for the Dodgers but it doesn’t really matter where he plays defense, this is a fantasy stud and worthy of the top overall selection. Mookie Betts also sneaks in as a top-tier second baseman where eligible and probably gets a slight boost in platforms where the infield eligibility sticks.
ADP Targets
Ketel Marte (76) continues to fly under the radar as a rock solid bat… Max Muncy‘s (108) health has likely pushed him down in early drafts but its tough to underrate what he’s done when on the field… Jonathan Schoop (231) and Cesar Hernandez (356) remains some of my favorite late-round vets at the position.
ADP Fades
As in the outfield, we’re avoiding Whit Merrifield (34) in the top 40.
