There is no worthless category because there is no shortage of 2B who can contribute in some way, even if it is only not killing your AVG (unlike the dregs of catchers.) or just providing multiple position eligibility.

With a lack of depth at the top, I can envision a scenario where Cantu cracks the $30 mark, and Brian Roberts elbow injury fails to be discounted. The next level may all go for closer to $24 than $17 for the same reason.

Once that froth is gone (I did what? $24 on Placido Polanco?!?!?!), there are good pickings amongst the remaining players.

Luis Castillo could join the $17+ crowd if the Twins hold to there recent statements that he will be allowed to run. I just don't see that lasting. He had lost a lot of speed already (measured by caught stealing in two of the last three seasons) and playing on the turf everyday is going to be brutual on the hip.
