Day 69 And Counting

The Denver Post - Baker eager to vie for 2B job

Jeff Baker is serious about switching to 2B. He's lost 18 pounds this off-season and is preparing as if he will be the 2B. After last year's crap of a season, I hesitate to get excited about him at 2B.

But he mashed in AAA in 2006, and even double digit HRs at 2B will make him a top NL 2B. While many fantasy teams will spend draft picks and money on Ronnie Belliard, Mark DeRosa and Yunel Escobar, a smart team could take a flyer at 2B and grab Baker from the free agent pool for nothing.

Assuming he makes the transition to 2B.
