Robinson Cano posted an excellent 2010 campaign in which he was in the top three of four out of the five offensive categories, including first overall in runs batted in and batting average.
Although Dan Uggla is fourth on our list, he has been an incredibly consistent hitter over the past four years, becoming the first second baseman in MLB history to hit 30 home runs in four straight seasons.
Look for Uggla to continue his solid play as he will be surrounded with talented hitters as the newest member of the Atlanta Braves.
Tsuyoshi Nishioka is an excellent sleeper candidate for 2011. He joined the Twins in December after playing seven years with the Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan’s Pacific League.
Nishioka is an excellent hitter, and could prove to be a nice late-round selection in both mixed and AL-only formats.
