LAA: Howie Kendrick - .347/.373/.492
- Extremely low walk totals will keep Kendrick's AB and hit totals high. Barring injury, this is the year Howie wins his first batting title. WAVE: .347/92/11/72/12 in 614 AB.
OAK: Mark Ellis - .284/.346/.444
- Ellis broke out in '07 the way many had predicted he would in '06. A solid all around player, WAVE has Ellis projected at .284/80/16/67/6 in 518 AB.
SEA: Jose Lopez - .266/.300/.379
- Despite being only 24 years old, SEA seems just about ready to move on at second base. The Brad Wilkerson signing will likely mean Jose Vidro plays at second quite a bit more in '08 than last season, resulting in less AB for Lopez. Those are some good reasons not to go the extra dollar in bidding. WAVE pegs Lopez at .266/55/9/59/3 in 467 AB.
TEX: Ian Kinsler - .272/.355/.448
- Not the future batting champ that some had predicted while coming up through the minors, Kinsler still provides good pop and SB numbers for a second baseman. WAVE: .272/104/22/72/23 in 563 AB.
