Best player in MLB

[Vanilla Mnm]

Haven't really even posted in a long time, and I've been watching quite a bit of baseball lately. Who do you think is the best position player and the best pitcher?

I'm going to go with Adrian Gonzalez & Jered Weaver as of right now.

If I were making a team, I would choose probably Halladay as my first pitcher though.

Perhaps if there's no argument there, how about a top 5 position players and top 5 pitchers? :P

Re: Best player in MLB

Yeah, but their statistics still stand on their own whether or not I'm a Dodger fan.

Re: Best player in MLB

right.

frank mccourt is also the best owner in baseball.
and dodger fans are also the best at almost killing other fans.

Clayton Kershaw is a beast though, 12-4, left handed pitcher, 2.72 ERA, he had 3 straight games with double digit strikeouts this season. And none of those three games were his highest in amount of strikeouts in one game this season.

Just watch him win 20 games this season. He's pitching tonight.

adrian gonzalez 4 sure, as far az fielding ability goes, elvis andrus and ian kinsler r both forces 2 b reckoned w/, but i say that with ranger's fan bias, he he.

as 4 pitchers, roy halladay iz doing rly good, i guess itz early in the thread and thats y he hasnt been mentioned?

Maybe. I've been to the Rangers ballpark and it's really nice.

Ian Kinsler is pretty good, I think he had a 30-30 season actually.

I was thinking about Jose Bautista vs Adrian Gonzalez, and I might actually take Bautista over Gonzalez simply because a 3rd baseman is more valuable than a 1st baseman.

Bautista hits so much power with good average, if we're talking strictly batting it's not even close. Pitching is arguable and biased because the top 5 are so close.

Re: Best player in MLB

ian kinsler did hit the cycle in 2009 and that was the year he joined the 30-30 club, hes been on the all-star team twice, and his wikipedia entry iz already twice as decorated as michael young's.
he's been a consistent performer year after year, always my favorite.

Re: Best player in MLB

The first part of this question is very awkward... Seeing as there are 8 other positions aside from pitcher. Player X might be the best first basemen, but might not be as good as Y at shortstop. That being said, I really can't pick the best 'position player'. However, I will say Weaver takes the cake for pitching. Amazing ERA.

Also, I will throw in a vote for best hitter to Jose Reyes. And a close second to Adrian Gonzalez.
