Final Elias Projections - AL Second Basemen

The statistics used for the rest of the infielders are PA, AVG, OBP, HR, RBI, fielding percentage, and total chances (PO+A+E). Because of the inclusion of fielding statistics, it is much harder for an infielder to post a dominating score than it is for an outfielder or first baseman. You can see that with Pedroia topping this group at 84.472.

Grudzielanek is the only free agent from this group, as Carroll and Ellis have both re-signed with their respective clubs. Tigers fans should pay close attention to second basemen next year, as it will have an effect on Placido Polanco's free agent classification.
