Sorry, Vernon Wells fans ... our list shows only active players who already have at least five of each in 2007.
Weeks could do it. Upton could do it. Chris Young could too. I voted "none of the above". Heck, it might be Cameron Maybin in 2012 or something.
I went with Sizemore - he's young and added a fair bit of pop last year, so I think he can keep growing. 40 HR might be a stretch, but I think with a 40/40 you're looking at something that's going to be a stretch for everyone. With his steals, I don't know what the cause is, but he's been a much more successful base-stealer this year than he has in the past (does it have to do with who the Indians have played so far?). Last year he had 6 CS and 22 successful, but this year he's already at 9 steals without being caught. Maybe he's just started to figure out when certain pitchers make their move?
I don't see why Soriano can't do it again - despite his slow start.
