- Albert Pujols
Possibly this year’s National League MVP, I see no one else taking it from him. Incredible career overall, source of power, speed, and a great average. Future hall-of-famer and maybe the best hitter ever in baseball. Yeah, I’ve got a man-crush on Big Al
Final Numbers: 100/37/116/7/.357
- Lance Berkman
18 steals from Lance and had a great year, pretty sweet if you took him in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. He was great up until the last 2 months of the season, I think he was trying too hard to carry the Astros to the postseason after they lost Carlos Lee.
Final Numbers: 114/29/106/18/.312
- Ryan Howard
You want power and dig the long ball then Ryan is your guy, you want average and speed look at picks #1 & #2. He may come in second to Big Al in the MVP voting because of all the homeruns and RBIs. But still strikes out a lot, 199 times in 2007 & 2008.
Final Numbers: 105/48/146/1/.251
- Adrian Gonzalez
He was the only bright spot at Petco Park. But that Park is holding him back, 49 RBIs at home while getting 70 on the road. Imagine the numbers from him if he played all his home games at Coors Field, a man can dream can’t he?
Final Numbers: 103/36/119/0/.279
- Carlos Delgado
I still think this guy is 60-years-old. But posted his highest average in 3 years and was written off by the Mets before the all-star break. He made them look foolish and forced them to pick up his option for next year. Hopefully it was not a mistake for the Mets as they make plenty of those already.
Final Numbers: 96/38/115/1/.271
- Prince Fielder
Seriously, vegetarian? Personally, as a trained chef, I feel that a balanced diet and regular exercise is the cure for obesity. A drastic change in diet can change your body’s metabolism, its ability to store fats(energy), and may result in a slow recovery time for injuries. Just sayin’ Prince, just sayin’.
Final Numbers: 86/34/102/3/.276
- Jorge Cantu
Jorge turned those “Can nots” into “Cantus”. I know that’s awful. Helped the Marlins to a winning record and they played spoiler to the Mets season, as if they needed anybody to do that for them. Looks to be trade bait for the Marlins this winter and might score them the pieces they need to take the Eastern Division.
Final Numbers: 92/29/95/6/.277
- Derrek Lee
Wha’ happened? If you take out 2006 when he had the wrist injury, he is in his 3rd year of decline. Strikeouts up, power and speed down, not what the Cubs were expecting after his excellent 2005 season. Buyer Beware.
Final Numbers: 93/20/90/8/.291
- Garrett Atkins
Another guy, who is younger than Lee that is taking steps backwards in his game performance. He also hits at Coors, which should be heaven for him, but he is declining after only 3 full big league seasons. Injury? Mental? Maybe just needs some new scenery?
Final Numbers: 86/21/99/1/.286
- Adam Dunn
Here’s what you get 40 HRs and a low average, you want something else, then don’t pick Dunn. And what was all that talk about him stealing more bases, seriously? This is what Ryan Howard will look like in a few years.
Final Numbers: 79/40/100/2/.236
