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
