Biggest Questions As Season Starts

This is obvious, but Posey and Heyward appear ready to take another step toward stardom. Posey probably only needs a full season to put up huge numbers for a catcher. And Heyward will be better with his thumb healed. Others who could emerge as stars this year include Colby Rasmus, the Cardinals' multitalented center fielder, Gordon Beckham, the White Sox's second baseman who's a lot better than he showed last year, Matt Kemp, who had a huge spring, powerful Mets first baseman Ike Davis, even more powerful Marlins outfielder Mike Stanton, plus Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, Indians catcher Carlos Santana and Tigers outfielder Austin Jackson. And oh yes, B.J. Upton might finally become a star and his brother Justin a superstar.
