The top middle infield options are littered with tons of shortstops while the second base position is not nearly as deep.

In fact, I find the second base spot to be the shallowest. There is not a clear, bona-fide top dude and a lot of the guys in the middle don’t have much separating them. Or there are players that are helpful in just one or two categories.

The Williamson300 is here to help you decide who to value and who to fade!

Is Ketel Marte the top second baseman? Is Jose Altuve someone to fade? What about Ozzie Albies? Is this the year of Jordan Westburg?

NOTE:

1. I will update these rankings often throughout the off season as we gather new information and data from spring training.
2. I have a blurb of analysis on most names and the plan is to have this list updated with analysis for each and every player.
3. These rankings for traditional five-category leagues.

I grew up in Crosby, TX, just about 30 minutes east of Houston, TX. Yes, I am a major Houston Astros fan, and love my Texans and Rockets.

I graduated Crosby High School in 2006 (Go Coogs!) and attended San Jacinto College (Go Gators!) before attending and graduating from Texas Tech in 2012 (Go Tech!). I got my degree in journalism.

Throughout my academic life I was on some form of debate team, and it was the greatest experience of my academic career.

Now I couldn’t be more happier. Sports Ethos is allowing to me to live a life long dream: to be a sports writer.
