Excellent point -- there's very little left. I'll probably have to go with a platoon. It looks like in the NL last year, there were a lot of injured and/or ineffective second basemen (Castillo, Matzui, Weeks, Hudson), so the choices were thin... well, after Fontenot and Chase Utley. Uggla pounds righties, but he's brutal in the field and he almost has to be platooned.
Shortstop is thin [i:2ed57ce7d0]now[/i:2ed57ce7d0], but there were a bunch of great shortstops at the start of the draft -- I counted six that had a 2 defensive rating or better that could also hit, and only Furcal had injury issues.
