is Travis Hafner (Pronk) the best DH in baseball this year.?

Thome is an old man, and he plays for the white sox. Hafner is the man, he's twice as good as Thome, and he plays for the best team in baseball.

smoltz and kent are already in. smoltz has better credentials than dennis eckersly(both were great starters and closers) whose already in. kent is already all-time leader in hr by 2nd basemen. other than that i agree with your list.

I just saw your team and you don't need Cano who is the same as Castillo and Garland isn't a great pitcher. U have good pitchers, but not great pitchers, so trade Helton for Tejada cause Guillen sucks. and trade Hafner for Peavy or Santana or another great pitcher.

must be Ron Santo. Isnt he the only legendary 3rd baseman we have had.

Definitely not.  In case you don't know, Jeff Kent has the most homeruns among all the second basemen of all time.  Overall, he is a top-5 2B before season begins.  A good 2B is very hard to find.  It's not likely you will have good replacement.\n\nC_bar has listed Kent's numbers.  Remember most of the hitters are very consistent.  That's why people still rely on Manny Ramirez, and still still Shelton will fall.  And Jeff Kent could hit better if Nomar can protect him.

No way! He still throws 90+ mph, and people love to hate him. He brings a whole different element to the game!

It's totally Dempster and no one else. Take a look at his stats, he is actually becoming one of the best closers in the league and is dominate at times. No way anyone else closes for them until he gives the team a reason.

No, he is not.  Did you see how poorly he did this season when they were testing for steroids.  I think that he stopped using them this season so he would not get in trouble.  If you use steroids, why do you deserve to be on the all time homerun list? Plus, there's the whole cork in the bat incident.  He had to cheat to get his homeruns.

heck no he is not the most underrated catcher in baseball, he is the best catcher in baseball...go cubs...

Well before he got hurt Albert Pujols was the best player this season. He was on pace to break the single season home run record. Plus he also had a pretty good batting average.\n\nNow I would go with Joe Mauer or Travis Hafner. Both are currently having a great year. Plus Joe Mauer plays a very difficult position and is still producing very good numbers in spite of the toll that being a catcher takes on a player. \n\nJoe Mauer stats:\n.378 BA, 5 HR, 31 RBI, 37 runs, 6 SB\n\nTravis Hafner stats:\n.300 BA, 19 HR, 57 RBI, 57 Runs

Pujols without a doubt.  Thome is know to go into some major slumps.  Right now Pujols could be on his way to being one of the greatest PLAYERS ever.  His numbers are staggering for such a short career so far.  He is as intimadating as hell.  I saw him golf swing a pitch last week that still hasn't landed yet.  The pitch was at his ankles and he made it look effortless.  If he stays healthy on this pace, he has a chance someday to break almost every offensive category (HR/Season, HR/Career, RBI, Average).

I picked up Zimmerman when Pujols went on the DL. He's very consistent and with Soriano ahead of him, he gets plenty of chances at knocking him in.....Over long term course of the season, he's the better choice, imo.

i think he is one of the best...but you also have to put a-rod, manny, ortiz, and derek jeter on that list, but i would say a-rod is the best player in baseball today and pujols is a close second

beltran is one of the true great players in the game today, hits , hits for power in the clutch, great fielder w/ good "arm", runs fast and smart... whats not to keep?.. is he worth the money??.. no ball player is worth the money they get.. but at least he puts fans in the seats, many over paid players do not.

In no particular order!\n\n1.Jose Reyes is the best SS in the game right now\n2 Albert Pujols - the best player in the game right now\n3. Johann Santana - by far the best pitcher in baseball\n4. Ryan Howard - crazy strong and talented hitter\n5. Alex Rodriguez - had incredible numbers in his OFF year\n6. David Ortiz - even though he doesnt play the field he is one of the best today\n7. Carlos Beltran - The best CF in the game in my opinion\n8. Derek Jeter - a proven winner and the likely 2006 AL MVP\n9. Joe Mauer - the best catcher in baseball\n10. Vladimir Guerrero - great hitter, and one helluva arm\n\nhonorable mentions: Chris Carpenter, Roy Halliday Travis Hafner, and Justin Morneau

I gotta agree, Joe Crede is having a heck of a year. I also think Travis Hafner should be starting(sorry, I'm a Cleveland fan).and I think Grady Sizemore should make it. Jermaine Dye is having a solid year, and deserves consideration. And what is up with Jason Varitek leading at catcher. I think everyone who voted for him should have their ballot thrown out, and their heads sewn to the carpet. Lets not forget about Tom Glavine. He should be collecting social security by now, instead he is leading the Majors in wins. I just Hope Guillen makes fair selections, and doesnt get 3/4 of his starting lineup in the game, the way Joe Torre has done in the past. Good luck Sox fans, its too late(again) for my dear (pathetic) Tribe to be thinking postseason.

If you havent picked up Justin Verlander (Detroit) I suggest you do. He's a young and talented fireballer. I have him on my team, and I aint gonna give him up for nothing.
