With Placido Polanco heading to Philadelphia, the job is Sizemore's to lose if the ankle continues to respond well in spring training. Barring a setback, Sizemore looks to be an intriguing play at 2B who can be an asset across the board in all formats. As someone who finds himself more in the middle of prospect lists, he may potentially be available at a nice value. .275-80-14-60-14 in 550 AB

Positives / Upside	Sizemore brings the ability to contribute across the board for fantasy owners. Last season he clubbed 17 HRs, while also swiping 21 bases at Triple-A, plus he batted over .300. As Detroit's full-time 2B this year, Sizemore figures to get the chance at replicating this performance at the big league level.
Negatives / Downside	Offseason ankle surgery could sap some of his speed, at least early on, and even if he recovers, he's not a burner. His BABIP has been consistently high throughout his tenure in the minors - it's possible he's simply established a high baseline, but it seems unlikely his true talent level is that of a .300 hitter.
