I think top 5 hitters is pretty self explanatory. I'd give the edge to M-Cab over Reyes for the reason that it's a tantalizing prospect to see how M-Cab does a full year in Detroit, fully adjusted.

As for Sabathia, I think he's a top 5 pitcher but you look at his prior workload over the past few years and there's reason to believe he'll eventually tire out. If that's not the case, then I see CC's ERA inflating with the move back to the AL, in a more unfriendly division than the Central. I'd give Hamels the slight edge even though he has workload/injury concerns too but Philly tends to take good care of his arm.


those would be my tops also

I'll go with AD's list also, but substitute Webb for Halladay. Halladay gets no love! His K numbers from this year should continue now that he's found that slide-piece.

Halladay's close in my rankings, but Webb's division gives him a slight edge. I suppose fatigue muddled Webb's line in the end (that sinker didn't have much sink in the second half), but I'd give the slight edge to Webb still. Understandably, Halladay carries a better K rate and he still approaches the game to get more groundballs in order to keep him going strong into the later innings.
