Jose Altuve, Ozzie Albies, Marcus Semien, Jordan Westburg, and Matt McLain round out the other higher-end options who are being drafted in the first eight rounds.However, the position makes up for its superstar scarcity by providing a large range of useful options later in the draft. Any of the top 20 second basemen could realistically finish in the top 12 at the ...

The worst mistake fantasy managers can make in a fantasy baseball draft is taking a chance on a player in the early rounds that winds up busting. Whether the player gets injured or has a poor year at the plate, it's hard to recover from. That's especially true if you select the player in the first couple of rounds.This year, four second basemen are going inside the first three rounds (Mookie Betts, Ozzie Albies, Marcus Semien, and Jose Altuve). All four players, though, are priced appropriately ...

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. The 32-year-old is rebounding from a difficult 11-for-72 dry spell from June 6 to June 23 with his third straight multi-hit effort. Semien has curiously refrained from attempting a stolen base since May 13, which has marginally curbed his fantasy value over this time. The lack of running could simply be a testament to the high-octane nature of the Rangers offense not ...

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored in an 11-7 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Semien picked up his 54th RBI of the season in the bottom of the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly to score Ezequiel Duran. He also doubled in the contest and scored a run. The 32-year-old is putting together an excellent season and is on pace to beat his previous career high in RBI (102 back in 2021). He's slashing .279/.342/.466 with 10 home ...

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a strikeout in an 8-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. The Rangers were all over rookie starting pitcher Taj Bradley in this one, chasing him after 3 2/3 innings and five runs (four earned). Semien reached twice with a pair of singles and scored a run in the big win. The 32-year-old has been hot over the last seven contests with a .313/.353/.531 triple-slash line. He's been hot pretty much the entire year, ...

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 1-for-4 with a single, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday. This one was a pitcher's duel as Luis Castillo and Jon Gray both dominated the game. It was Castillo who cracked first, however, as Semien led off the bottom of the sixth with a single. He would come around to score on a Nathaniel Lowe sacrifice fly in the same frame. The one run would prove to be the difference as the Seattle offense was ...
