After an offseason that saw plenty of superstars change teams, there are revamped MLB rosters.

The guide includes SportsLine's top sleeper, breakout and bust in the 2020 Fantasy baseball second basemen rankings:
Sleeper - Joey Wendle (Rays): Wendle was a popular sleeper pick last season after a minor breakout in 2018 that saw the 29-year-old hit .300 while swiping 16 bases across 545 plate appearances. If he can regain some of the form that he flashed in 2018, Wendle should be a solid middle or corner infield option in Fantasy lineups at a bargain on draft day.
Breakout - Gavin Lux (Dodgers): The Dodgers' uber-prospect is finally ready for the big leagues, and he brings plenty to the table for a now-22-year-old. With a full season's worth of at-bats ahead of him, Lux brings the talent to make an immediate impact hitting in a powerhouse Los Angeles lineup.
Bust - Keston Hiura (Brewers): Hiura exploded onto the scene in the back half of 2019, hitting .303 with 19 homers in 348 plate appearances. However, he also struck out in a whopping 30.7 percent of his at-bats. His BABIP was an absurdly high .402.
SportsLine's Fantasy baseball draft guide 2020 has also identified a massive bust you need to steer completely clear of. This player is going off the board early in most leagues, but could completely sink your playoff hopes.
