2010 MLB Free Agents: Orlando Hudson Leads A Thin Crop At Second Base

We continue our look at the best free agents on the market this offseason by turning our attention to the second basemen.

Orlando Hudson: Hudson's power is disintegrating, and he's no longer the thrill around the base that he used to be in his younger days. Still, he's a worthy veteran stopgap who has some effort left to give.

Adam Kennedy: the 34 year old Kennedy didn't have a pretty 2010 in Washington, but there's reason to believe he's in line for a bit of an offensive rebound, and he's capable of playing multiple positions around the infield.

David Eckstein: Eckstein still does what he's always done - make contact and get on base by whatever means necessary. His numbers were driven down by playing in a giant Petco Park, and to this day he remains a very dependable middle infielder.

Cristian Guzman: Guzman doesn't have a ton left to give, but the 32 year old can play all around the infield and is able to put the ball in play, qualities some might consider "dynamic".

Aaron Miles: since the start of 2009, Miles has batted .230 with zero home runs. He is a contact-hitting utility infielder, and nothing more.

Worth noting: Julio Lugo.
