Jeff Kent comes into this season as the top seed but will have his work cut out for him if he hopes to advance to Round Three. Hall-of-Famers Ned Hanlon, Tommy McCarthy, Ken Griffey Jr., stand in his way as do George Wood, Rusty Staub, Jose Bautista, and Jim Fogarty. It will take a top 4 finish or a record of at least .500 to move ahead in the playoff.
