| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and Beryl's. |
| 0:16.2 | It's Tuesday, November 1st, Derek Van Riper here with Enosaris on this episode. We will discuss |
| 0:23.9 | 2022 second baseman taking a look back at a position that is kind of strange because there |
| 0:29.7 | aren't that many players who are only second basement anymore. If you're a second baseman, |
| 0:34.4 | you probably wear a few other gloves. Same hat, but many other gloves now for current second baseman. |

| 1:18.8 | in the last episode and actually it won't even be a second baseman next year, which is |
| 1:22.9 | the other thing we're keeping an eye out for is the players that lost eligibility at second |
| 1:26.3 | base. |
| 1:26.8 | Many of these players, because they're multi-position eligible, if a greater need surfers somewhere else, |
| 1:32.8 | that's where they played most of their games this season. The first player we should talk about, |
