JOC PEDERSON of / br aves

Atlanta picked up Pederson, 29,

from the Cubs at midseason,

and, after another “Joctober” of

clutch hits, his stock is on the rise.

A left-handed bat with enticing

power, he’s also very streaky.

ZACK GREINKE

sp / astros

Greinke’s strikeout rate plummeted to

6.3 K/9 IP this year, the fourth-lowest

mark among the 39 starters with at

least 162 innings. The 38-year-old

future Hall of Famer also recorded a

5.34 ERA in the second half and

suffered a neck injury that limited him

during the postseason. Still, he knows

how to pitch, and he’ll get another

shot with a contender.
