Who's Hot: On the verge of retirement last spring training, Marlon Byrd batted .291 with 24 homers in 2013. He's locked into the Phillies lineup to start the year. ... Domonic Brown finally lived up to the hype last season, hitting 27 homers. One concern: Brown did not hit a homer in 17 September games.

Who's Not: Carlos Ruiz predictably regressed after the best season of his career in 2012. It's unlikely he'll come close to those numbers again. ... Is age catching up to Jimmy Rollins? The 35-year-old shortstop saw his power drop from 23 homers in '12 to just six last year despite playing in 160 games.
Who's Hurt: Ryan Howard played 80 games in 2013 before undergoing knee surgery. He appears to be healthy, but at age 34 and having played just 151 games combined the last two years, fantasy owners should not bank on a full campaign from him.
