Top 10 players in baseball for 2009

Topnotchsy · Feb 20, 2009

I figured this should/should spark some good baseball discussion. Who are the top 10 players in the game for 2009? (And before this gets started, I know everyone has different definitions of the word "best" so just throw them out there and someone will come and argue with you

) Feel free to include both pitchers and hitters in the list, or pick one (or make lists for both.)

Can't think of 10 off the top of my head (and no time to explain my opinions right now) but here's some of the guys I'd in my top 10 (not in a specific order.) My list looks at projection for 2009, as well as what I anticipate the players career's will look like when it's all said and done.

Albert Pujols
Alex Rodriguez
Hanley Ramirez
Grady Sizemore
David Wright
Jose Reyes
Chase Utley

I see Arod having an off year due to all the media.
Heres my top 10(not in order)

Albert Pujols
Jose Reyes(Rickey Henderson type year)
David Wright(first 40 hr year)
Mike Pelfrey(surprises everyone and wins the most games in the mlb)
Miguel Cabrera(hits 50 bombs)
Hanley Ramirez(40/40)
Josh Hamilton
Carlos Beltran
Ryan Braun
Howie Kendrick

In no particular order really

Albert Pujols
Alex Rodriguez
Hanley Ramirez
David Wright
Chase Utley
Miguel Cabrera
Roy Halladay
Tim Lincy
Jake Peavy

and one of these guys for the last spot. Braun is probably the safest pick, but I can see one of the others having a great 09 season. Better than Braun.

Braun
Verlander
Hamels
Hamilton
Kinsler
Quentin
