If you're not interested in playing for upside at 2B, Hudson is a consistent, reliable guy who will give you decent numbers and won't kill any categories for you. Just don't pay a premium for name recognition and a catchy nickname. .285-80-10-60-10 in 580 AB

Positives / Upside	Hudson's biggest strength is that he is a known quantity virtually guaranteed of giving fantasy owners across-the-board stats that are adequate for a 2B. He'll steal a few bases, hit some HRs, post a good average, and score his share of runs. If things break right for him in his new home this season, he could bat around .300 with more than 80 runs.
Negatives / Downside	Hudson is headed back to the stronger league for 2010, which will be a tougher place to reverse the dip in line drive % and boost in K% he suffered last year. Since Hudson doesn't have one or two particularly strong categories, it's important he offer at least average production across the board, requiring some good fortune.
Recommendation	Buy at cost
