- value to team winning games
- Age (hurts Derek Jeter )
-  Mr. Resentments bias.


10. FELIX HERNANDEZ  P  Seattle Mariners. Cy Young winner,  4 Starts this season of at least 8 innings with 1 or 0 runs no other pitcher has more than 2 outings that nasty.  Often gets lost up there in Seattle, if he was on the Yankees or in Boston he would be one of the biggest stars in the sport. Currently 3-1 with a 1.89 era stringing together another Cy Young type season. 


9. STEPHEN STRASBURG P Washington Nationals. first overall pick in 2009 has come on the scene and just may be the best right hander in the game. currently 2-0 with a 1.66 era he already has 38 k's and a whip of .84  the most dominant pitcher in the national so far this year. 


8. RYAN BRAUN  OF Milwaukee Brewers. He is at it again proving he doesn't need any anabolics, ALLEGEDLY. He already has 10 bombs this year he has a lifetime average of .312 My pick for best Left Fielder in the game his durability for me puts him a head of the Rangers Josh Hamilton.  


7. CLAYTON KERSHAW P. Los Angeles Dodgers. Larry Bowa has compared him to Sandy Koufax and if he thinks he is that good well that's good enough for me. A career record of 49-29 at the age of 24. 41 k's and only 9 BB with a whip under 1 makes him the best left hander in baseball according to me. 


6. TROY TULOWITZKI  SS Colorado Rockies. The best Shortstop  baseball has seen since well Alex Rodriguez. Last 3 seasons he has averaged 30 home runs and just under 100 RBI. Multiple Gold Gloves and All-Star appearances makes him a top 10 no brainer. 


5.  JUSTIN VERLANDER P. Detroit Tigers. Reigning Cy Young and MVP that possesses a 100 mph fastball at times makes him the best Right hander in the American League and possibly all of baseball.  109-58 career record with a 3.50 era shows he keeps his team in just about every single game he pitches.


4. MIGUEL CABRERA 3B. Detroit Tigers. Like the Tigers as a whole Miguel is off to a slow start but now that he plays 3B you could argue Cabrera is the best player in the game. I however feel you need to play defense for that honor. He hit .344 last season with 30 homeruns and hit 38 bombs the previous year. 


3. ROY HALLADAY P Philadelphia Phillies. Averaging 20 wins over the past few seasons, multiple Cy Youngs, a playoff no hitter, pin point control and the ace of a staff that has Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels on it means you are pretty good. He has 191 career wins with only 94 losses. Went 19-6 last season and didn't win the Cy Young. 


2. ALBERT PUJOLS 1B. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
    162-game averages: .328 AVG, 42 HR, 126 RBI, .617 SLG enough said. 


1.  MATT KEMP OF Los Angeles Dodgers. One Home run shy of going 40-40 last year and he got short changed one game because it was never made up. Hit hit .324 last season and is on fire to start this season. My preseason #1 ranked player his play to this point makes it impossible for me change that. Still striking out a lot but who cares when you are hitting .385 right?
