- Hank Blalock-22 HR, 83 RBI
- Miguel Cabrera-37 HR, 130 RBI, .316 Avg., .967 OPS
- Nelson Cruz-28 HR, 84 RBI, 18 SBs
- Chris Davis-40 HR, 118 RBI, .951 OPS-WOW!
- Jacoby Ellbury--52 SBs
- Carlos Gomez-8 HR, 63 RBI, 41 SBs
- Adam Jones-15 HR, 65 RBI, 12 SBs
- Matt Laporta-24 HR, 86 RBI, .252 Avg.
- Evan Longoria-37 HR, 116 RBI-MVP??
- Mike Napoli-31 HR, 85 RBI, 11 SBs-WOW WOW!!
- Alexei-Ramirez-24 HR, 97 RBI, 14 SBs
- Travis Snider-19 HR, 83 RBI
- Taylor Teagarden-25 HR, 61 RBI
- BJ Upton-14 HR, 65 RBI, 38 SBs- who's the better
- Matt Weiters-24 HR, 85 RBI, .311 ACG, .932 OPS-AL

hm
i would be dissapointed if Blalock didnt hit 22 hrs or Elsbury steals 50.If Adam Jones or Upton dont improve on those stats i would be dissapointed too,Upton his like 8 hr’s in hte postseason,i would be hoping for about 22/80/35 from him this year…….but why put mvp next too Longoria’s name when Cabera is predicted for better stats?

good point
But Longoria brings more to the table on the defensive side than MCab.

Blalock
that’s why I included him on the list….only 22 HRs would be a disappointment…I agree.

Ellsbury?
52 Sbs means last year’s second half crash was not a thing of things to come then
