Freddie Freeman (1B, ATL) led all National League Rookies in BA (.282), hits (161), doubles (32), HR (21), RBI (76), OBA (.346) and SLG (.448) in 2011 ... what can he do for an encore?

While everyone knows that a near-$50 season is next to impossible to repeat, many still held a shred of hope for Carlos Gonzalez (OF, COL) heading into 2011.

After an injury plagued and ineffective 2010, Josh Beckett (RHP, BOS) found himself at something of a career crossroads at the outset of the 2011 season. Beckett answered the bell and then some, anchoring the Boston rotation and posting excellent numbers across the board...
