Has there ever been a year where two secondbasemen in the same league are so highly qualified? Utley will win the vote because he is the better known player from the the Phillies being in the post season last year, but Uggla has a slightly higher OPS at the moment.
Ian Kinsler of the Rangers, has the highest AL OPS among second sackers as of this morning, .796. If he were in the NL, he would be in 7th place among secondbasemen. Dustin Pedroia, the leading AL vote getter, has the 10th highest OPS among all MLB secondbasemen.
