Expectations were high for Michael Bourn (OF, ATL) after the speedster piled up 174 stolen bases from 2009-2011. But with just days left this season, his SB total stands at 39—a big drop-off from last season's 61. In fact, he has just one SB in September after posting no fewer than seven steals every other month this year.

Nice season, Mike Trout (OF, LAA)—so, what do you have planned for an encore? Trout will definitely be one of the first players picked in 2013 drafts; the question is what are the odds that he can deliver a repeat performance?

After repeating his 2011 narrative of showing up for spring training in 2012 not really ready to play due to knee discomfort, Chase Utley's (2B, PHI) was a big question mark. He looked sluggish and a far cry from one of the best second basemen in the game in 2011, but once he took the field in late June of 2012, he showed he still had some juice left.

For years now, owners could rely on CC Sabathia (LHP, NYY) as a workhorse for 230+ innings of elite performance every season. Sabathia has struggled at times this year, though...

If you already have written off Jake Arrieta (RHP, BAL) and Jordan Lyles (RHP, HOU), here's why it's time to take another look.

Since his 2008 breakout, Ricky Nolasco (RHP, MIA) has teased fanalytic owners with his big arm and stellar command only to disappoint when the final results were in. This season has largely been more of the same. But Nolasco has turned it on over the past month with a 2.61 ERA and a pair of complete game shutouts.

Practice excruciating patience. If you weathered the storm of Max Scherzer’s (RHP, DET) horrid April (7.77 ERA in five starts), you’ve been repaid for your virtue; he’s been lights-out since mid-June.

While Washington's surprising season has been filled with headlines of Strasburg, Harper and a deep and talented pitching staff, one player has had a big contribution without much fanfare. But does anyone other than his owners know that the team leader in HR and RBI—by far—is one Adam LaRoche (1B, WAS)?
