POSITION REPORT: Second Basemen
John Hugh (Tal 8/5/3/5/6) might be the hidden gem so far. 34 years old, only $950k, and he hit .334 in 2009. Nice speed, but gets caught too much (career: 158 SB / 71 CS), and adequate defense. Hugh was an All-Star last season, posting 334/392/416, which is great for a sub-$1m middle infielder. He will be a free agent after this season.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: There is no capable backup and there are no prospects in the pipe. A backup MI looks like a must-get.
