Gaby Sanchez & Danny Valencia look to avoid sophomore jinx

Gaby Sanchez: With Steve Garvey stockiness (and a little more size), Sanchez was remarkably consistent while changing the Marlins' plans at first base with his power. With that base of work behind him, more of the same is the general expectation.

Danny Valencia: The Twins are hoping he fills the black hole that has been third base, where 18 different players started in six years before he took over last July. Maintaining the high offensive output he had the second half of 2010 won't be easy.
