    Chris Davis? Ballsy. I have him down for 32-34 HR but he definitely has a lot of power. I think he'll be a contender for the top 5 in 2010, but I doubt he'll show it in '09.

    1. Howard

    2. A-Rod

    3. Teixeira (the protection A-Rod will give him will do wonders for him, unless he buckles under the NY pressure which I don't think he will)

    4. Quentin (43-HR pace before his injury)

    5. Miguel Cabrera (slow start in '08 turned into 26 HR in his last 78 games which translates to 54 HR)

    Honorable Mentions:

    -Braun could turn in a 40/20/.290 year and become the game's best offensive outfielder...until Quentin reaches his ceiling.

    -I'd love to see what Pujols can do with a 100% elbow, which he's never had

    -Can Dunn turn in his 6th straight year of 40 or more? Depends where he lands.

    -Can Manny turn around and continue producing at the level he did with the Dodgers?

    -Josh Hamilton is one of the best pure hitters in the game right now. He tailed off at the end of '08 but that's probably it was the first year with 100+ games in his pro career. Don't expect a 2nd-half buckle again.
