May Second Baseman Rankings
Here is the May edition of my rest-of-season position rankings and overall top 300 for 5x5 leagues. I’m using five-game eligibility, so plenty of players have added new positions since Opening Day. Because I love you, I’ve also tweaked the top 300 to include previous rankings this year.

Brice Turang is almost certainly overachieving, but it is encouraging just how much he’s cut his strikeout rate. I’m not 100% sold on him as a mixed-league second baseman, but he can keep on racking up the steals as long as he continues to get on base at a decent clip.
I assume readers would have expected to find Luis Rengifo higher, but his offense seems like a mirage; his hard-hit rate is a measly 29% and he’s collected zero barrels, even though he has two homers. Statcast thinks he should be batting .219 and slugging .281.
