Brandon Belt was putting up excellent numbers across the board in 2015, but another concussion cut his season short. Can he put up even better numbers in 2016? Plus Gerardo Parra, Yadier Molina, Jon Niese, and Steven Matz.
Scooter Gennett's hot spring has him in the mix for leadoff duties against right-handers, and perhaps even something close to a full-time role early on.
Jake Arrieta probably won't be able to duplicate his dominating second half performance from 2015, but he's clearly established himself as a rotation anchor. Plus, Bartolo Colon, Hunter Pence, Wilson Ramos, and Adeiny Hechavarria.
Hector Rondon has stumbled out of the gate this spring. There are a couple other talented relievers in the CHC pen who could handle things should his struggles continue. Plus more from the NL Central.
As is always the case, Adrian Gonzalez put together another stellar performance in 2015, and remains a strong foundation to build a team around. Plus, Ryan Howard, Cesar Hernandez, Adam Conley, and Hunter Strickland.
The Pirates have a couple question marks at the back of the rotation. If needed, can Juan Nicasio bridge the gap? Plus, Smith and Jeffress to split closing duties in Milwaukee, and more from around the division.
Yoenis Cespedes finished with a flourish in 2015. Can he keep the momentum going? Plus, Jason Heyward, Migeul Montero, Jake McGee, and Taylor Jungmann.
The loss of Jhonny Peralta will certainly be felt, but Jedd Gyorko and Aledmys Diaz both offer some upside, and may prevent the need for a trade. Plus, Jaso a potential leadoff option in PIT, and more from around the Central.
Joey Votto rebounded in a big way in 2015, especially in the second half (.530 OBP—seriously). Is he safe to invest an early round pick on in 2016? Plus, Dexter Fowler, Alexei Ramirez, Andrew Cashner, and Chase Anderson.
The Cardinals have plenty of depth in their bullpen, with a multitude of options behind Trevor Rosenthal. Plus, a look at CF in Milwaukee, and more from around the division.
Giancarlo Stanton was on his way to a career year in 2015 before it was interrupted by yet another injury. He's still a classic case of risk vs reward. Plus, Erick Aybar, Yasmany Tomas, Scott Kazmir, and Fernando Rodney.
