Simple question, who do you think will be considered a bona-fide superstar by seasons end (who is not already.)
My picks:
Grady Sizemore-Power speed combo is the best in baseball (outside of maybe Hanley Ramirez.) Only thing that kept last season from being the break-out year was the batting average, which was a bit low. Considering his BB/K ratio improved significantly, and he increased his power I think he got a bit unlikely with the BA last season and can see a jump this year. If he repeats 30/30 and hits .290, especially with power numbers down across the board, he'll be recognized as a legit star, especially with his solid defense, high OBP, great SB percentage.
Jose Reyes-IMO he's become underrated over the last couple of years. Huge seasons the last couple of years, and while he has worn down in September, I'm not convinced it's a real issue (I don't buy that it is at all.) .290, 15-20 homers, with 200 hits, 35 doubles and 15 triples is awesome, and I think he can even take it a bit higher. Throw in his solid BB/K ratio and IMO he's a true superstar, and will be recognized as such by the end of the year.
