RankPlayerBryanGeorgeChrisProfessor's Notes
1Evan Longoria211Improved AVG (.294) and BB/K rate (0.58) could mean monster year in '11
2David Wright122K's are troublesome, but contributes in all five categories
3Alex Rodriguez333A lock for 30 HR/100 RBI; doesn't steal bases anymore
4Ryan Zimmerman444On the verge of elite status
5Kevin Youkilis555OBP machine who could reach 100 R/100 RBI; health a small concern
6Jose Bautista677Won't reach 50 HR again, but power is legit
7Adrian Beltre866Move to offense-friendly TEX will keep his numbers high
8Michael Young799Should bat in front of Beltre, Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz and Ian Kinsler
9Mark Reynolds1388Think '08 AVG (.239) w/ '10 power (32 HR) and speed (7 SB)
10Aramis Ramirez91111Still hit 25 HR despite shoulder injury; .245 BABIP should improve
11Pablo Sandoval101212Dedicated to getting in shape this offseason
12Martin Prado141010Good source of AVG and R; average power/speed
13Casey McGehee111313Very good value for where he's going; HR and AVG are legit
14Pedro Alvarez121414At age 23, .205 ISO ranked 10th among 3B w/350 PA
15Ian Stewart17151530 HR potential if he could get it together for a full season
16Chone Figgins161818Elite SB, but it stops there; SEA offense limits his R potential
17Placido Polanco201616Good source of AVG and R late in drafts
18Chase Headley151919Poor home/road splits in AVG (.237/.289); SB stopped after big April
19Michael Cuddyer182020Versatility is nice; 49.8% GB% is troubling for his power numbers
20Jose Lopez192121Keep an eye on Coors Field effect; hit 42 combined HR in '08 and '09
21Omar Infante252222Starting in FLA; good source of AVG and R
22Juan Uribe242323Career-high 24 HR in '10; .248 AVG hurts
23Chris Johnson222828Won't reproduce .387 BABIP and .308 AVG in '11
24Miguel Tejada262626Journeyman still has some pop in his bat (15 HR in '10)
25Danny Valencia213030Interesting to see what he can do with the starting gig
26Scott Rolen29-17Power surge in '10 (20 HR) came out of nowhere
27David Freese-2424Started strong (.318 AVG in Apr/May) before injuries ruined rookie season
28Jhonny Peralta28-25High LD% (22.3) didn't translate into a good BABIP (.275)
29Jorge Cantu-2727No guaranteed full-time job really limits his power potential
30Dayan Viciedo23--Buried in the depth chart, but showed some pop (6 HR in 125 PA) in '10
