^ Jon Lester: As with any pitcher, it’s important to discern if arm problems lie at the root of a lack of success. There is absolutely no indication that this is the case with Lester, who has had a disproportionate lack of luck thus far. These factors generally even out over time, at least to some extent.
^ Magglio Ordonez: He’s making decent contact, especially as of late. With that being the case, there’s no reason to believe that his power will continue to fall off as dramatically as it has.
^ Matt Holliday: We’ll keep him on our “Buy Low” list until his production increases appreciably, not least of which because his numbers are playing into absurd stereotypes about the extent of the “Coors to Oaktown” difference. When you keep in mind that the As are almost certain to move him in his walk year since they are out of contention – and the good chance that he will be moving to a friendlier park – there is no reason other than superstition not to want a piece of him right now.
^ James Loney: This is another repeat participant on our list. Again, though, since he is almost certain to hit at least 13-15 home runs this year – at the very least – the longer he lingers in the low single digits, the more dramatic his progression to the mean will be.
^ Jimmy Rollins: Already showing some very belated signs of life, there is ample reason to believe that this superstar in his prime is once again ready to live up to his potential.
