Vlad Guerrero. How does this man hit so consistently well with that swing? Not counting his 9-game stint with the Expos in 1996, his first trip to the majors, the guy has never hit below .300 in the bigs and has a career .326 batting average. Entering this season, Vlad's lifetime average trailed only Todd Helton among active players and he was 40th all-time. He's hitting .344 this year and might win his first batting title. And he doesn't strikeout much, either. He entered this season with the 13th best OPS (.979) in history. He is scary.
The Atlanta Braves. Year after year, they torment the NL East. Considering that they're getting back two-fifths of their rotation shortly -- Hudson and Hampton -- they might now be the favorite to win the division. Again.
