Votto’s midseason knee injury wound up costing the Canadian slugger over 50 games, although his extra-base pop was pretty damn impressive regardless. Not surprisingly, his stolen base total dipped, but you could argue that he was on track for a career year before going down. Factor in Votto’s continued strong glovework at first base, and you’ve got yourself one of the best all-around talents in the game. Unfortunately, the knee is obviously not yet 100 per cent given that it’s not a sure thing he’ll be on the Canadian team at the WBC.
