Hello everyone, welcome back to another edition of my positional dynasty rankings.

This week the spotlight shines on the top 50 dynasty second basemen for 2027 fantasy baseball. I have tackled a number of positions already, and if you missed a post, please look at the list at the bottom and catch up.

As a group, second base is a balanced but light hitting position as it ranks near the bottom in home runs hit, beating only the catcher position. The position does offer some strengths. When it comes to batting average, the top 10 players had a .273 average, better than the Tier 1 players at first base, third base, catcher and DH. The position also offers a lot of speed and versatility as many of the players qualify at two or three positions. Additionally, the top players are also relatively young, especially the top-ranked players.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher slash deadline acquisition slash heartthrob Tyler Mahle continued his dominant run Friday night with a scoreless six inning outing, allowing just four base runners (three hits) and striking out six Astros to clinch the Braves’ spot in the postseason. It was his seventh win of the year, and fourth win with […]

You know what’s kinda weird? Those earrings that stretch earlobes? I just shuddered thinking about them, but they’re not weird. Eating turkey makes you tired, but turkeys aren’t always sleeping? That’s closer to weird, but not quite what I was going for. They still deliver mail six days a week, in all kinds of terrible […]

Fantasy Baseball Overlord mainlines O. Henry stories, huh? It’s like, “Here ya go, you peasant,” the Fantasy Baseball Overlord says, “I will give you Edwin Arroyo.” We collapse and genuflect towards the almighty. Then the FBO adds, “And I will take Elly De La Cruz. Bye-bye, suckers!” NOOOOOOOO!!! Not like this! But it’s too late, […]

White Sox 3B Munetaka Murakami would be my number one pick if we could re-roll the First-Year-Player Draft today. Nine home runs in his first 23 games is crazy talk. That’s almost a 50-homer pace across a full season. And the craziest part is that something close to that seems sustainable, at least to some extent. Murakami’s patient until he’s not. He’s early to recognise a pitch he should pounce and does exactly that. I wish I had him somewhere. My bad.

1. SS Kevin McGonigle | 21 | AA | 2026

The 37th overall pick in the 2023 draft, McGonigle has great hands on both sides of the ball along with plus speed and burgeoning power. A left-handed hitter with a quick swing, he broke out in 2025, slashing .305/.408/.583 with 19 home runs and just 46 strikeouts against 59 walks  in 88 games across three levels. McGonigle has one of my favorite prospect traits in that hitting is the easy part for him. Detroit’s not an easy park for lefty power, but the pitching in that division is soft, so maybe it all comes out in the wash.

For each team in the division, we each pick a player that for fantasy purposes we would buy, sell, […]

1. RHP Jackson Jobe | 22 | MLB | 2024

At his best, Jobe pairs impeccable command with incredible spin rates. His four-pitch mix is headlined by a hungry four-seamer that eats all over the strike zone, where he might need to live a little more going forward, even as he managed a 1.95 ERA and 1.04 WHIP despite a 4.64 BB/9 rate across 73.2 Double-A innings. He allowed just two home runs over that stretch. He’ll almost certainly look like one of the team’s five best starters in spring training, but he’s thrown just 13 innings above Double-A, so there’s at least a chance he opens the season in Triple-A. The name itself portends at least a little suffering before reaching the promised land.
