Fantasy Baseball: Top 15 Second Basemen

#1

Chase Utley

Phillies

For the sake of posterity, try to block out Utley's 5-HR barrage in Games 1-5 of the '09 World Series. And then momentarily forget about his career-high 23 steals last season for the National League champs. With those high-profile omissions, Utley would still reign as the No. 1 second baseman. Put it all together ... and Utley is a realistic threat to crack the top-4 in mixed-league drafts -- ahead of Miguel Cabrera, David Wright, Ryan Howard, Tim Lincecum, Joe Mauer, Prince Fielder, Mark Teixeira and the next the guy in this countdown.
Projections:
28 HRs, 102 RBIs, 112 runs, 21 steals, .307 average.
