pujols....he is so consistent it's amazing...i think he has a better eye than a-rod and let's face it pujols does it in the playoffs also, whereas a-rod hasn't shown an ability to do anything in the postseason other than karate chop the ball out of a pitcher's glove...bonds is a terrific hitter but unfortunately it took steroids to get him to that level

C'mon. Can we tame the excitement just a hair. I like Alay too, I'm originally from Cuba. But the guy is 2-1 in 6 Starts. Please chill. Prince Fielder ( .298 BA 14 HR 40 RBI 35 R 5 SB) is out there in the NL. Hanley Ramirez (.262 BA 3 HR 20 RBI 53 R 20 SB). Ryan Zimmerman (.274 BA 10 HR 46 RBI 37 R 5 SB) Dan Uggla .313 BA 13 HR 43 RBI 49 R 4 SB). Plus they've all been starters on their teams since opening day. All or any of these guys are far more deserving of the NL Rookie of the Year.

Prince Fielder.\nHe's been a solid hitter so far. He has great power and can hit at least 25-30 in his rookie season.\n\nAL obviously Papelbon.

sign up on yahoo for fantasy baseball it has a pre-set ranking.  I make a few changes each year, players like Adrian Beltre are ranked low but he is a top 100 player easily.  Just depends on what youre looking for.

I think Jose Reyes has the best chance.  He's young and his legs are fresh plus he'll have many chances to do it with his young age.  My darkhorse pick would have to be Chone Figgins.

I'm assuming you're referring to the HR record.  I would probably say Griffey, A-Rod, Pujols or Vlad.  All four are team-players who are natural hitters without taint of steroids and they all love the game for the game.

Right now i'd have to go with Scott Rolen. In the past month he has hit .380 and made some amazing defensive plays. He gets it done on both sides of the ball. He has really stepped up his game while Albert Pujols is injured.

The best left-handed pitcher in baseball today is Francisco Liriano #47, Minnesota Twins. This is only his first year in the league so you could argue that my choice is premature but ever since the minor leagues, it was evident that liriano would become a franchise ace and an all-star in the majors for many years. In 27 starts split between Double A New Britain and Triple A Rochester, liriano went 12-4 with a 2.63 ERA and a minor league leading 204 strikeouts over 167 2/3 innings. he really turned heads with his performance at Rochester. Liriano was named the best starter in Triple A on the strength of just 14 starts with the Red Wings. During that span, Liriano went 9-2 with a 1.78 ERA, allowing 56 hits over 91 innings while striking out 112. Those sorts of stats will always win a player plenty of admirers, and you won't find one bigger than Rich Miller, Liriano's manager in Rochester this past season. "Liriano is a kick-the-winning-field-goal kind of guy," Miller said. "He has great poise and never gets rattled if he's in a jam. He's quiet, well prepared and not boisterous or flamboyant. His hat is always going to fit." These qualities, coupled with prodigious pitching talent, make Liriano a force to be reckoned with on the mound.\n\n He is a pitcher in the mold of Johan Santana, his teammate and arguably the best left handed pitcher in the game today....but with liriano in the major leagues this year, it basically makes him the best. \n\nFirst and foremost, Francisco liriano is more intimidating as he stands at 6'2" which is 3" taller than johan. If you take a look at both of their stats this year thus far, Johan Santana has a record of 4-4 and a 3.42 ERA and has pitched in 75.1 innings surrendering 70 hits, 29 earned runs, 9 hrs, 15 walks, and accumulating 80 strikeouts. Santana has a K/9 ratio of just about 9 and an amazing K/BB ratio of 5.3  \n\non the other hand, Francisco Liriano has made his mark on the league already in his first season as a phenom. he started out the year in the bullpen and has just recently been inserted into the starting rotation so he does not have as many innings pitched. Liriano has a record of 3-0 with a 2.51 ERA, two wins as a starter one as a reliever and has pitched in 32.1 innings giving up 33 hits, 9 earned runs, 1 hr, 8 walks, and 43 strikeouts. talk about an amazing k/9 and k/bb ratio for santana, well this kids got a k/9 ratio of 12 and a k/bb ratio of 5.3 as well.\n\ni dont know what else to say but he has lived up to the hype and many minnesota twins fans ive talked to say liriano will be better than santana and that just speaks volumes.

A-Rod, Pujols, and possibly Bonds. Maybe even all three.\n\nBy the way, Pujols has a chance to break Barry Bonds's single season HR record too.

i always like to rank the players by position, instead of a 'top 25'.  when my turn comes to pick, i might have a need at, say, 3rd base, and i like to have a list of my top 5 3rd basemen handy to refer to.  here are my top offensive players by position:\n\ncatcher... victor martinez, joe mauer, jorge posada\n1st base... albert pujols, derrek lee, todd helton\n2nd base...alfonso soriano, jorge cantu, brian roberts\nshortstop...miguel tejada, derek jeter, michael young\n3rd base...alex rodriguez, scott rolen, eric chavez\noutfield...manny ramirez, vlad guerrero, barry bonds, \n\nok so that's 18.

I think that he is the best player in baseball.  He was on a tear before he got injured, on pace to break Bonds 73 HR single-season record.  Also, in a baseball world where steroids are abundant, it appears that Pujols just has natural talent.  He was leading the Majors in HR and RBI before he got injured, and he still is leading the NL in HR and RBI now, although people are closing in.

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
