| For the past few years, Ben Zobrist has received respect on draft day due to having decent power for a second baseman. The Rays have split Zobrist's time between second base and the outfield over the last five seasons, but many Fantasy owners wouldn't think of using Zobrist in the outfield when his production stacks up so well against most second basemen. At least in Head-to-Head formats, Zobrist didn't just produce well for a middle infielder last season; he was just plain good, as he ranked ninth among all outfielders in standard scoring. Zobrist's mediocre batting average did hold him back in Rotisserie leagues, where he failed to crack the top 30 outfielders, but his penchant for hitting doubles and drawing walks was rewarded in points leagues. Because this season he will be eligible at shortstop as well as second base and outfield, Zobrist should be a hot commodity in the early rounds. Though he doesn't excel in any single category, Zobrist can be counted on for help in virtually every category aside from batting average. (Updated 1/2/13) |
