3.Brandon Phillips - Cincinnati Reds
4.Dustin Pedroia - Boston Red Sox

8.Brian Roberts - Baltimore Orioles
9.Howie Kendrick - Los Angeles Angels
10.Jose Lopez - Seattle Mariners
11.Dan Uggla - Florida Marlins
12.Ian Stewart - Colorado Rockies
13.Scott Sizemore - Detroit Tigers
14.Clint Barmes - Colorado Rockies
15.Rickie Weeks - Milwaukee Brewers

Here's some thoughts on the players:

Considering the age of many of the top second baseman, there is no difference between the rankings for dynasty leagues and yearly leagues at the top of these rankings.  Of the top seven, only Chase Utley will be over 28-years-old on April 1. 

Is anyone going to downgrade him because of his age?  I don’t think so.

Is Howie Kendrick ever going to fully realize his potential?  Who knows, but keeper league owners definitely should consider taking the flyer on him.  He certainly has more long-term potential than someone like Dan Uggla or Ian Stewart.

Placido Polanco (34) is still a good option, but at his age dynasty league owners are better served to take a flyer on a younger option.

Will Rickie Weeks ever stay healthy and put things together?  We’ve all been waiting for years, but at 27-years-old, he’s still worth taking a gamble on.

Scott Sizemore has the long-term potential to be a 15/15 option every year, to go along with a solid average (think .280ish).  While that may have more value than a Dan Uggla, Jose Lopez, or Ian Stewart long-term, I wouldn’t draft him as a starter for 2010.

This could be the only chance you have to utilize Stewart as a 2B, with him now slated to be the full-time 3B in Colorado. Keep that in mind when drafting him.
