Who do you think is the best player in baseball? I'd have to go with Votto. I also think he's been the most consistently productive player since 2009.

If kemp weren't injured I would probably voted for him, instead I went with hamiltonComment

I think its an age where it is very hard for a player to dominate. Consider that Cabrera, Braun, Kemp and Votto have yet to produce an 8 WAR season, Hamilton's top is 8.4, though I think Kemp's defense took a hit in the NEW WAR.Comment

Votto is a better defensive version of Cabrera, so Votto wins out there.
Unlike Hamilton, Votto stays healthy, so I will take Votto.
Overall, Votto has been a better hitter than Braun by a little bit, so I will go with Votto.
I am not sure Kemp shouldn't win the battle, but I will give it to the guy healthy right now.1885 1886 1926 1931 1934 1942 1944 1946 1964 1967 1982 2006 2011

Oh. I thought it was just because these new-fangled players are just not as good as how they cranked them out in the old days.Originally posted by brett View Post

I will vote Ryan Braun because no one else will.
Plus, he would have more RBIs if the Brewers didn't stink this year.Comment

Hamilton or Mauer when completely healthyComment

Hey, I voted Braun too! I think he is the best all-around player in the game. Kemp and Hamilton have the skills, but Braun has a better track record and stays healthy.Originally posted by KevinWI View PostMy top 10 players:

They are both too injury prone to be considered the best, in my opinion. They don't help you when they're not on the field. I have to go with Votto right now.Originally posted by GiambiJuice View PostThey call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.Comment

He's just now getting healthy again, hitting .382 in his last 20 games. Sadly as long as he's in Minnesota I doubt will see him get his 4th batting title because the Twins have no protection for him in the lineup.Originally posted by Cap78 View PostComment
