Dan Uggla Makes #3 of the Best Second Baseman of 2010

Second base isn’t producing many offensive numbers this year. One man stands far and beyond at the best second baseman of 2010 so far and probably for a long time to come.

3. Dan Uggla, Florida Marlins: If it wasn’t for such weak stats all around for second baseman this year, Uggla would not even be on this list. Uggla is having his typical, consistent year of hitting for power and nothing else. Uggla is only hitting .262 but, he does have 14 home runs and 37 RBI’s. Uggla’s power numbers alone is the reason why he is ahead of Prado and Phillips on this list. There’s not much to say about Uggla, his numbers are the same every year, around 30 home runs and 90 RBI’s. Maybe if Uggla played for a different team besides the Marlins, whose field is actually a converted football field, he would have even better power numbers. As long as Uggla is on the Marlins he will always be known as a good player, not a great player. The Marlins are still in the playoff hunt this year because of their week division. They are one game under .500 and are only five and a half games out of first. I do not see the Marlins making over .500 by the end of the season though and maybe if they really fall behind by the end of July they will do Uggla a favor and trade him to a hitter friendly ballpark.
