5. 2B Brandon Phillips – CIN
Ownership: 59 percent
If you owned Dee Gordon and are still looking for a suitable replacement, what are you waiting for? Veteran Brandon Phillips has always been a consistent and reliable player at second base.
The 34-year-old Red has seen his power numbers decline some with age, but so far in 2016, he has six home runs and 16 RBI. The dinger totals rank third at his position in the league and Phillips continues to hit for average. A career .274 hitter, he’s batting .286/.313/.533 right now. His .846 OPS ranks sixth amongst all second baseman.
Phillips’ three stolen bases this season are an added bonus, all things considered. Whether you’re looking to replace Gordon or are just in need of a more productive second baseman because you have an under performing player starting right now, Phillips is a great option. If he is rostered, try looking at D.J. LeMahieu (81 percent) or Logan Forsythe (73 percent) to supply your second base needs.
