Your top 10 players in baseball going into 2008?

[RubeBaker]

Who said "young"?

Somehow my tired brain when I read that saw "young" instead of "your". D'oh.

I would put Pujols #1, A-Rod #2, and Santana #3. After that, there really isn't a player on any of these lists that I can say shouldn't be there.

Only one guy picked the best LHH over the last 3 years? How come no love for Big Papi? He was only like .012 OPS behind A-Rod as a hitter last year and well ahead of him the previous two. And I see the defensive butchers Cabrera and Howard on a lot of the lists so don't give me the DH BS. Ortiz would at least beat Howard defensively if he had to play the field and Howard would DH on any American League squad.

They really need to give Papi the MVP on of these days. Imgran I couldn't agree more. The DH thing is BS. Papi isn't the terrible defender most people make him out to be. I believe he saved a-Rod's *** on alow throw in the 2006 ASG. The Red Sox wouldn't be anything near what they are now without Papi which is why he's # 5 on my list.

I can understand you not being an A-rod Fan, but how on earth can anyone not rate him in their top 10 active hitters?
