- Chase Utley—PHI—The class of the position without question. Even though he
missed a month of the season, Utley was still magnificent. Not only a stellar .332 average but over 100 RBI and 22 taters. He is still a first round pick and possible MVP candidate if the Phillies contend again this year. Assuming he doesn’t get HBP in the hand again, look for Chase to hit .323/31/111 with 13 steals
- Brandon Phillips—CIN—The gap on Utley is definitely closing thanks to Phillips. After an impressive turnaround season in ’06, Brandon completely broke out in ’07 with a staggering line (.288/30/94 with 32 steals) for a second sacker. The Indians are kicking themselves in their collective butts for giving up on this guy, and I fully expect another impressive year from Phillips. Possibly a downturn from last season, but only slight (.275/28/90/30).
