BAP Kardashians: Second Basemen

As I continue to examine late-round players who can operate as one category "band-aids" I'll take a look at my favorite position of second base.  It's not only the position that I used to play in baseball but also one very close to my fantasy heart as I've owned the best player at the position over the last half decade in Chase Utley (the good) and still do (the bad, as he's likely missing several months due to knee surgery).  A much shallower position than first base, there will be fewer players late that can help compensate for categorical defects earned early on.  There's still value to be had, however, so I'll get started.  All the players listed are likely to be available after the 10th round.

HR / RBIs:
Aaron Hill, TOR
Neil Walker, PIT
Juan Uribe, SF
Bill Hall, HOU
All of these guys should be right around or just over 20 home runs, a plus at such a weak power position.  Hill is so much of a sleeper that everyone knows he is, but you should still be fine waiting until at least the 10th round.  Hall is the real upside play here as he'll cost a last round pick but could produce 30 home runs playing in a smaller park.

Stolen Bases:
Chone Figgins, SEA
Brian Roberts, BAL
Ryan Theriot, STL
Macier Izturis, LAA
Eric Young Jr, COL
Steals are plentiful late at second this season, though hoping for any of these guys to hit over 10 home runs is likely a useless exercise.  Izturis is the late play here in my opinion.  If he can unseat Brandon Wood to earn a 450+ at-bats at third base he could easily top 25 steals.

AVG:
Howie Kendrick, LAA
Tsuyoshi Nishioka, MIN
Mike Aviles, KC
Omar Infante, FLA
Freddy Sanchez, SF
Skip Schumaker, STL
Like steals, .300 hitters aren't too difficult to find late at second base.  Kendrick is primed for a post-hype .320 season but final round players like Sanchez and Schumaker can still net you a .290 average with very respectable run totals.  Sanchez especially helps in average because his low walk rate produces so many at-bats.

Runs:
Gordon Beckham, CWS
Chone Figgins, SEA
Reed Brignac, TB
Dustin Ackley, SEA
Orlando Hudson, SD
"Upside" here is relative as I'd be surprised to anyone in this group eclipse 90 runs, but no one aside from Beckham and Figgins should get the at-bats.  All of these guys will score when in the lineup however, so if you want a stop-gap to stabilize your lineup before you swing a deal with an also-ran, these guys will buy you the time to have others play themselves out of contention and lower the asking price.

Tomorrow: Third base, which is in its own way just as shallow as second base.
