1. Paul Goldschmidt, AZ--Wicked combination of power, hitting, defense, and even speed.
2. Miguel Cabrera, DT--Greatest Rh hitter of our era, had an "off" year and still dominated.
3. Jose Abreu, CWS--Fierce slugger and smooth hitter; he will only get better after learning the league.
4. Anthony Rizzo, CHC--Theo/Jed swiped this gutsy left-handed masher with a smooth glove.
5. Freddie Freeman, ATL--Similar player to Rizzo with a nicer hit tool but not as much raw power.
6. Albert Pujols, LAA--Even in his decline, he's a savvy, dangerous hitter and solid fielder.
7. Edwin Encarnacion, TOR--Devestating raw power makes up for holes in his swing.
8. Adrian Gonzales, LAD--Solid hitter and nice fielder no longer has his stirring power.
9. Prince Fielder, TX--Terrible year last year doesn't negate still existing power and batting eye.
10. Chris Davis, BLT--Adderall disaster last year won't effect his game-breaking power this year.

Had the top 2 in my keeper league and traded Goldschmidt away for Lind and a bag of Peanut M&M's. It was a 2 pound bag and when you are stoned there is nothing better than Peanut M&M's.

Assuming all the c/1b aren't included, for SOM, I'd slot in Matt Adams for his production vs. rhp. I'll also take a healthy-again, moved-to-first Ryan Zimmerman as a back-ten surprise.
