Could see him make a jump on this list.
5. Andre Ethier – LAD

Ooh I dunno about this.  He may fall out of the top five. 
4. Jose Bautista – TOR

3. Jayson Werth – WAS

• Runs 32
• SB 11

1. Ichiro Suzuki – SEA

I think the Ichiro years are almost over.  So he may, or may not, go out on top at his position.
