Second Baseman ROS Rankings

Dropping off: Jordan Westburg (6th), Nick Gonzales (50th), Jorge Mateo (58th), Ryan Bliss (61st)

• Jackson Holliday was 22nd here initially after it was announced that he’d be replacing Connor Norby on Baltimore’s roster, and then he moved up a couple of additional spots Wednesday, less because he hit a grand slam than because Jordan Westburg’s injury makes it less likely that he’ll be supplanted if he slumps. I don’t love that Holliday will hit at the bottom of the order and likely sit often against lefties, but he should offer some mixed-league value in his second try here.

• As for Norby, it’s pretty ridiculous that the Marlins sent him down after acquiring him in the Trevor Rogers deal, but I wouldn’t have ranked him as a mixed-league guy anyway in such a terrible situation for hitters in Miami. He figures to join the team in mid-August, and he’ll probably offer some value in deeper formats then.
