Was it just last year that third base was the dregs of the fantasy world? Now it looks like there are 11 – 13 solid options. Of course, only one third baseman (and he doesn’t really play there) comes without questions: Jose Bautista.
Still, I’m fairly confident in Evan Longoria and Adrian Beltre putting up solid power numbers, and that’s what you need in a third baseman. Only two third basemen stole 20+ bases, Eduardo Nunez (22) and Emilio Bonifacio (40). I do like both players this year, but would rather slot them in at short. After those two, you get Ryan Roberts and his fluky season. So it appears you aren’t going to find a true five category producer at the position, right?
