Kinsler is the second best player at his position, with the ability to out-produce Chase Utley. If Kinsler can stay healthy all year, he could end up as the premier second baseman heading into 2011. He'll go a round later and about $7-10 cheaper in drafts, making him a better value. .270-100-25-85-25 in 560 AB

Positives / Upside	Very few players have Kinsler's multi-category potential. Ian Kinsler and Chase Utley are in a class of their own at second base, blending a perfect balance of speed and power into their games. Kinsler is one of baseball's only players that will challenge 30 HR and 30 SB. On top of that, he'll be an elite source of runs and contribute an above average RBI total. Kinsler will likely be a top-15 pick, and you can have a huge advantage at the position with him in your line-up. .280-105-30-90-30 in 580 AB
Negatives / Downside	Painfully low batting average in 2009 (.253) will need to increase for Kinsler to be a truly elite fantasy contributor. Last year's 144 games was a career high, as he has historically been an injury risk. .255-85-15-75-15 in 520 AB
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
Draft Position	16
