Who are the top 10 second basemen for 2017 Fantasy Baseball?

We’ve already gone over catchers, first basemen and today we are going to take a look at the top 10 second baseman in 2017 fantasy baseball.

For every player, we’ll give you their stats from last season and Steamer projections from Fangraphs.

Second base isn’t the deepest position that you can build your team around. There are some obvious elite choices at the top and it drops off a bit from there, but it doesn’t mean that the players further down on the list aren’t good options if you don’t get a top tier player.
