Ride The WAVE - AL East Second Basemen

AVG/OBP/SLG, followed by AVG/Runs/HR/RBI/SB:

BAL: Brian Roberts - .296/.375/.447

• Playing for the Cubs would likely generate more runs scored for Roberts, but a fine fantasy second baseman either way. WAVE puts him at .296/97/13/61/42 in 595 AB.

BOS: Dustin Pedroia - .326/.392/.457

• WAVE sees the AVG continuing upward, and a power spike is possible. .326/96/9/58/8 in 576 AB.

NYY: Robinson Cano - .317/.354/.504

• Like the Yankee second baseman before him, many baseball analysts figured Cano's weak strike zone judgement could be his demise. Both Soriano and Cano continue to prove the analysts wrong. WAVE projects .317/95/21/97/3 in 641 AB.

TB: Akinori Iwamura - .288/.362/.436

• The move to second base immediately improves Iwamura's fantasy value, and WAVE is calling for more power in year two. .288/90/14/50/11 in 566 AB.

TOR: Aaron Hill - .295/.345/.445

• 2008 will determine whether Hill's '07 power spike was for real. WAVE pegs him at .295/87/14/74/5 in 614 AB.
