If anyone can challenge Utley for a full season, the smart money lies with Kinsler (31 HRs, 86 RBIs, 101 runs, 31 steals in '09). But that could only happen if Kinsler returns to the neighborhood of his 2008 production in batting average (.319) -- which shouldn't be too hard with Nelson Cruz, Josh Hamilton, Chris Davis and Michael Young as immediate sources of lineup protection. Projections: 27 HRs, 90 RBIs, 111 runs, 34 steals, .291 average.
