When it comes to second basemen these days, its hard to find one who is more reliable than Kinsler. He has averaged 152 G per year over the last five seasons, and has turned in consistent results year after year. This season should be no exception, as Kinsler sits atop a star-studded Tigers lineup in 2016. Kinsler has hit 75 doubles over the last two years, and Steamer projects him at 33 this season, which means he will have plenty of chances to cross home plate. Our RotoBaller staff has appropriately placed Kinsler in the third tier of second baseman in MLB with the likes of Ben Zobrist and Dustin Pedroia, to name a couple.

While Kinsler may not be the flashiest choice at second base, there is one thing you can be sure about on draft day: when you pick Kinsler, you know exactly what you're going to get.
