It seems to me there are more guys who have a chance to crack the 30-30 Club this year than any year I can remember without pulling up the All-Star Break numbers from years past. Who do you think will make it this year?
Hanley Ramirez, Grady Sizemore, David Wright, Brandon Phillips, Jimmy Rollins, Eric Byrnes, Carlos Beltran, Alfonso Soriano or even on the outside Gary "New Legs" Sheffield, and Torii "Where the HXLL did a .300 BA Come From" Hunter

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Victorino-has increased power since weak April
Russell Martin-if he goes on a tear
Corey Hart-would be on pace to overachieve if he played all year
Upton-ditto
Braun-ditto
Chris B. Young-should run more now that he's healthy
W/R/T Hunter, guys hit better in contract years.

It looks like the list now is Handley Ramirez (needs 6 HR but only has six games left in power friendly parks), David Wright (needs 4 HR), Sizemore (needs 7 HR and 1 SB...will Cleveland give him the AB if they open up much more of a lead on DET), Jimmy Rollins (needs 5 HR and 2 SB...is he a 1st rounder now?), Brandon Phillips (4 and 4...moving on up), Chris B. Young (2 and 7...does he have the green light?), and ARod (needs 8 SB...long shot).
Other long shots...Eric Byrnes (10 HR), Beltran (4 HR and 10 SB).
