Since his breakout season in 2010, some evaluators have been waiting for superstar Jered Weaver (RHP, LAA) to come back down to earth. Instead, the lanky righty has continued to baffle hitters and disappoint critics by posting excellent numbers and he's currently on track to post his second straight sub-3 ERA...

If you're still in contention, that's great! For the rest of us, we'll look at likely free agents and evaluate their potential as keepers for 2013.

Dexter Fowler (OF, COL) has been viewed as a five-tool threat since his early years in the Rockies farm system. But inconsistent play has frustrated owners still waiting on him to break out. Finally, there seems to be progress with Fowler batting over .300 with double-digit steals and home runs.

When Joe Mauer (C, MIN) signed his mega-contract in the spring of 2010, it looked like he’d be a mainstay behind the plate for years to come. But knee issues sidelined him for two months of 2011, giving Twins’ fans a scary look at life without him. While the Twins aren’t doing much winning this year, Mauer looks like he’s healthy.

Though the full-time debut seasons of Mike Trout (OF, LAA) and Bryce Harper (OF, WAS) could well be Storyline #1 when we look back on 2012 from afar, reality is that only one of them is an MVP candidate right out of the chute.

Robinson Cano's OPS is 444 points lower vs. LHP than vs RHP. We found other batters with big left-right splits.

From the moment he arrived in Texas, Yu Darvish (RHP, TEX) brought instant star power and considerable talent to the Rangers starting rotation. Darvish dispatched the competition with relative ease during his first month in the big leagues, but hitters have caught up to him since and the Japanese hurler has been scuffling since the All-Star break.

Mike Minor (LHP, ATL) has been on a roll since July 1. His skill split when pitching with the bases empty vs. runners on base suggests there's more growth on the horizon if he can refine his approach while pitching from the stretch.
