Who is the Best Posistion Player in baseball under 26 ?

[Brett Keith]

This season it has been Brendan Ryan. He has been playing out of his freaking mind this season.

That is so ridiculous, even if Ryan was under 26. .296 with 2 homers, 28 rbi's, and 42 runs really is not that good.
Was it a joke?

He doesn't belong on this list, for more than one reason, but Brendan Ryan is probably the best defensive SS in the NL.

He may be good, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that Alcides Escobar became the best defensive SS in the NL as soon as he was called up.

We all know the reputation of Alcides, but I think you're underestimating how good Brendan Ryan has been.

Mauer in the AL, Hanley in the NL.

The name's Beckham. Gordon Beckham.

Honestly, some of the names getting mentioned in this thread are a total joke. Andrus, Beckham, and others are good players, but they are not 1/10th the players that Joe Mauer, Miguel Cabrera, and Hanley Ramirez are. A name I would throw out above Andrus, Beckham, and a few others that I have seen in this thread who has not been mentioned is Jacoby Ellsbury.

Joe Mauer is 26, otherwise he's the guy.

Longoria
Upton
Kemp
Prince
Braun
Cabrera

Add Adam Jones, Zimmerman, Tulowitzki, and that's pretty much the list. In a year or so you will probably be able to add McCutchen, Wieters, Beckham, Sandoval, Andrus.[/quote:2j4bliqm]
you should also add pablo "panda" sandoval!

Did you read the whole thing?

My vote would definitely be for Hanley.

Has anyone mentioned Felix Hernandez? I don't think he's the best, but deserves mentioning.

Hes not a position player.

Under 26: Hanley
Under 23: Upton
Under 22: Andrus

 

[blitzerlover]

Not the best, but Mccann has to be in the top 10/15.

You might just be the only one..

McCutchen is the best under 23 imo.

 

[Jays_Cards]

McCutchen is the best under 23 imo.

Better than Upton? Negative..

Yeah, I obviously didn't read the title thoroughly. I'm a dummy.

Fair enough. He is 2nd best position player under 23.
