Rickey Henderson, Mets, .446 His attitude hasn't changed much in 21 years, but neither have his Hall of Fame skills. Quickly took to the role when he and Carlos Beltran traded lineup spots last year. Doug Glanville, Phillies, .433 Vastly improved plate discipline has boosted both his batting average and walk totals. Kenny Lofton, Indians, .427 Not the same player as five years ago, but still among the elite at setting the table. Chuck Knoblauch, Yankees, .423 Effective but often overlooked because of his fielding problems and better-known teammates.
Talented rookie has plate discipline, speed, developing power and a leadoff hitter's makeup.
He traded steals for doubles as he lost a step to age, but he's still one of the best. Ray Durham, White Sox, .405 If Frank Thomas continues his comeback, Durham could lead the AL in runs this year. Luis Castillo, Marlins, .394 Lack of power will keep him from joining the elite, but he does what he does very well. Shannon Stewart, Blue Jays, .392 Scouts and analysts are looking for a breakout 2000 after two promising seasons. Tony Womack, Diamondbacks, .392 His leadoff value is based on stolen bases because he has limited on-base and power skills.
