Classic Set Previews: SECOND BASEMEN

For a long time, second basemen were all about speed and defense, without the power or high averages we've seen from players like Jose Altuve, Jeff Kent, and more. Thus, the second base position is extremely top-heavy and undoubtedly will be targeted very early by smart managers. Joe Morgan is far and away the best available option, with Rod Carew and Roberto Alomar also providing great cards. After that, it's pretty thin outside of an intriguing Ryne Sandberg card. The most disappointing card (for us, anyway) was Bill Mazeroski. Sadly, the World Series hero's OBP struggles made his card a bottom of the lineup dweller, especially against all the great pitchers in the set.
