Good choice, I love Olympic for 86. Here are some olympic teams and how they fared at second base:
Frank White. Don't expect much except good defense. Obviously not a very good park match:

Steve Sax is a monster at Olympic. Probably the best guy to pick if you want some offense there:

Bill Doran. I've seen him put up some good seasons, but this isn't one of them:

Here I even got pretty good production out of a Flannery/Lawless platoon:

2B is a bit of a tough matchup for a total pitcher's park in 86. The best defensive guys (Sandburg, White) are not good matches. I think if you don't get Doran, you are typically better off with a 3 (Sax, Ray, Flannery, Berazard in that order) and getting your defense at the other infield positions and in the OF. Randolph or Herr are OK options as well, but Randolph makes a ton of errors and I think the 3s are a better value.
