Carlos Correa

Entering his second season, it’s unlikely Correa takes enough leaps forward to truly establish himself as a superstar. He’ll likely be the best offensive player on the Astros, though.

Xander Bogaerts

Add in some power, and Bogaerts is a legitimate star capable of winning a Silver Slugger award in the near future.

Miguel Cabrera

Missing time last season doomed Cabrera in the MVP conversation, but he’s still the best pure hitter in baseball.

Jose Bautista

In the final year of his contract, Bautista will likely produce massive numbers in what could be his last season with the Blue Jays.
