Favorite Current Baseball Players?

Re: Favorite Current Baseball Players?

My Top 6 favorites, in no particular order...
Joe Mauer
Albert Pujols
Jim Thome
Lance Berkman
Zach Greinke
Billy Butler

Not much has changed in the last year and a half...

I'd probably drop Greinke from the list. Maybe replace with Alex Gordon, whom I have been really impressed with this year - his bat is coming around and he is playing some of the best defensive left field I have ever seen. He is leading the entire majors in Outfield Assists at 13, second place is teammate Francoeur at 10. There is only 1 other LF with more than 6 and just 3 more LF with more than 4 assists. Alex is just playing OF really hard and fast, and he's only been playing outfield for about a year... Really turning his career around.

I'm also kinda partial to the new guy, Eric Hosmer.
