5Josh Hamilton555Still top 5 despite injury concerns
6Matt Kemp786Hit a career high 28 HR in '10
7Shin-Soo Choo878Underrated jack-of-all trades OF

9Jason Heyward61211Once in a generation type talent
10Jayson Werth111110Learned how to hit RHP last year

12Jose Bautista1314954 HR is hard to ignore
13Andrew McCutchen161012Power/speed combo and still improving
14Hunter Pence151516Should bat 3rd for entire year
15Nelson Cruz201314Top 10 if he could stay healthy
16Andre Ethier191615If only he could learn to hit LHP
17Jacoby Ellsbury122120Several All-Stars hitting behind him
18Ichiro Suzuki142019Supporting cast hurts R total
19Mike Stanton171918Could threaten 40 HR as a 21 year old
20Jay Bruce251813Finally hits 30 HR this year
21Shane Victorino211726Consistent source of SB and R with pop
22Chris Young222522Flirted with a 30/30 season in '10

24Drew Stubbs262225Post ASB: 11 HR, 11 SB, and .502 SLG
25Ben Zobrist182928Unusually low HR/FB ratio in '10
26Corey Hart2726234th highest ISO among OF
27Torii Hunter233029Showing no signs of slowing down
28Curtis Granderson312433Will sit sometimes against LHP
29Delmon Young382724More RBI than Braun and Holliday
30B.J. Upton442327It's time to stop expecting more
31Bobby Abreu303530Career-worst .255 AVG could be sign of him slowing down
32Jason Bay2838315.1% HR/FB rate was easily his worst; expect his HRs to return
33Angel Pagan323334Good power/speed OF (15 HR/37 SB); should bat second
34Adam Jones363135Needs to walk more (3.7 BB%) before he reaches full power potential
35Juan Pierre294242Led all of MLB with 68 SB; addition of Dunn to lineup will help
36Vernon Wells344438Reached 30 HR for first time since '06
37Nick Markakis354639A healthy Brian Roberts should help RBI; decreasing HR a concern
38Grady Sizemore454332The "forgotten man" could be a steal late in drafts
39Denard Span334741Should improve AVG; 20+ SB are a nice bonus
40Carlos Lee523436Lack of line drives (15.6%) dropped his AVG significantly (.246)
41Nick Swisher374940Probably won't hit .288 again, but 29 HR are legit
42Carlos Quentin543737Power is fine, but .243 AVG needs to improve
43Michael Bourn394545154 SB over the last three years, but AVG is shaky
44Brett Gardner473943Impressive BB rate (13.9%) and 47 SB led to 97 R
45Lance Berkman513251On his way out, but should bounce back after disappointing season
46Jason Kubel415154Streaky hitter piles on stats in bunches; more suited for h2h leagues
47Austin Jackson435946Historically high .396 BABIP still only led to a .293 AVG
48Raul Ibanez40-47GB% has increased each of the past 3 seasons
49Magglio Ordonez425853Can't be counted on to stay healthy at this age
50Dexter Fowler504859Should be everyday CF; 13 SB in '10 were a bit low
51Rajai Davis49-44Elite SB (50 in '10); should score more R in Toronto
52Travis Snider535552Showed good power with 14 HR in 319 PA in '10
53Alfonso Soriano-5048Power is still there (.238 ISO), but bad discipline hurts AVG (.258)
54Andres Torres555657Broke out at age 32; wouldn't count on same 16 HR/26 SB numbers
55Julio Borbon-5356Got off to horrid start in '10; should improve across the board
56Manny Ramirez46--Would be interesting if he landed in Texas
57Jose Tabata48--Swiped 19 bases in 441 PA last year
