4. Adrian Gonzalez – Los Angeles Dodgers
Once upon a time, Gonzalez was a perennial MVP candidate. That’s no longer the case, but he still is an above-average middle-of-the-order bat. In a relatively deep Dodger lineup, Gonzalez should be in for another solid year if he can stay healthy. That hasn’t been a problem lately; he’s missed just 14 games in the last three years.
Over those past three years, Gonzalez’s stats have remained relatively steady as well. He has hit between 22-28 home runs a year while driving in 90-116 runs a season. One has to wonder when his production will start dropping off, though.
At 33, he might only have a few good years left in him, but desperate for a title, he could be supremely motivated in 2016. That makes for yet another solid year as the lefty finishes up his prime.
