Wow, what a difference!

A few guys that were left off my list were due to injuries, such as Rickie Weeks and Akinori Iwamura.

Let’s go over each player and why I have them ranked so high.

1. Ian Kinsler—Texas Rangers—.279 BA, 38 R, 13 HR, 39 RBI, and 10 SB

Kinsler has been very steady, even spectacular at times this season.

He has double-digit home runs, stolen bases, and looks like he is finally healthy enough to fulfill his potential. Look for a possible 30 home run, 100+ RBI, and 20+ stolen base season and keep him active at all times as he is an elite second baseman.

2. Aaron Hill—Toronto Blue Jays—.333 BA, 33 R, 12 HR, 37 RBI, and 2 SB

Who’s this guy?
