    who's the best player in baseball and why?

    despite his slow start I still feel Albert Pujols, for the one reason, his bat is still explosive, and it will show as the season progreses.

    Troy Tulowitzki.

    -- Truly exciting to watch him play defense, and his batting numbers are as good as it gets for a SS.

    Pujols. He's been the best player the last 3-4 years.

    But he doesn't play in 80 percent of the games his teams plays, and out of the 20 percent of the games he does play for his team, he loses 33 percent of those.

    Albert Pujols is the best hitter I have ever seen. He is still the best offensive player in the game, he just has no one to protect him in the order. No other position player mentioned has been consistent for as long as Pujols. He is having a slow start so people are sleeping on him. I'd have to say it isn't even close.

    Lob Law hit it right on the head. Either Carlos Gonzalez or Joey Votto but probably the edge to Carlos Gonzalez. I gotta say Carlos Gonzalez because he is a 5 tool player and better defensively than Votto.

    Barry Bonds+ PED's= Best hitter of all time, and most exciting thing baseball has ever seen.

    I have to go with Albert, but I think he made a big mistake not cutting a deal with St. Louis before the season began. He is a sensitive guy and this will weigh on him as the season goes on. If the bullpen closer Franklin is not replaced and some stability restored there, albert is going to press and his numbers will be hurt.

    Barry Bonds is no doubt the best player to ever put on a pair of cleats....


    But as far as best player in the game at this very moment combining both offensive and defensive skills .........


    JOSH HAMILTON

    or

    Alex Rodriguez


    Troy Tulowitzski even though I like him a lot is a tad bit overrated and has inflated numbers b/c he plays in Colorado. Also hasn't shown that he can stay healthy. Would not put him in my top 5.

    1. Josh Hamilton
    2. Alex Rodriguez
    3. Robinson Cano
    4. Ian Kinsler
    5.Ryan Howard

    Cano or Tulo,I would take TULO because he plays SS which is very shallow and by years end will be an MVP candidate. Tulo is also a gold glove SS

    hamiliton but i am biased
    cargo may soon be the best
    both hit for power, run, throw and great defensively at a position where it helps their team immensely.
