We all know Pujols is the best hitter in baseball. AROD is better than Beltran no doubt.

Well, being that they play completely different positions, I would assume you mean for a UTIL position.\nI would go with Mr. Garciaparra as he has consistently been better this year and (outside of last couple years) has shown he can hit at .330 or better with good numbers all around (runs, rbi's, etc.) \n\nCurrent #'s: \nNomar - .363 avg, 39 runs, 8 hr, 43 rbi's, 3 steals in 50 games.\nRowand - .280 avg, 29 runs, 8 hr, 25 rbi's, 4 steals in 57 games.\nWith roughly 90 games left to play, expect Nomar to get to about .340 avg, 20 hrs, 90+ runs, 100+rbi's while Rowand will probably be about .275 avg, 20 hrs, 75+ runs and 65+ rbi's.\n\nAlso, Nomar walks much more (23 - 7) so he is more likely to score.  Nomar has had only 1 season where he played a full season that he hit under .300.  However, Rowand has had only one season that he played a full season that he hit OVER .300.\n\nThere really isn't much comparison.  Undoubtedly go with Nomar!

They are both great pitchers, but Johnson is getting old. His age is showing. He seems to have lost command of his slider, which was one of the worst pitches a right handed batter could face during his heyday. Pedro, if he is pampered is an amazing pitcher, maybe the best or one of the best pitchers in baseball. If he is used improperly, then he will wear down and stink up the town. If I had a choice, I would probably take Pedro right now.

Depends on what you mean by 'better'. A-Rod's numbers are better overall (at a younger age), and if he is inconsistent, so is Jeter. Jeter famed clutch performance is not what it used to be (but it is only June...). So, if you mean numbers, it's A-Rod.\n\nIf you mean overall, hands down it's Jeter. His moves in the field are unparalleled, when someone on another team makes a leaping twising catch, the announcers always compare it to Jeters style. Jeter doesn't get angry (where fans can see him, at least) like A-Rod does, and always seems smooth & calm regardless of the situation. He spends tons on charity and is really one of the most beloved figures in NYC. He's a leader, A-Rod isn't.

A-Rod has a career fielding percentage of .977 versus Troy Glaus' fielding percentage of .945\n\nA-Rod is not even a natural 3rd baseman and is still a better fielder than Glaus who is a natural third baseman.

A-Rod since the fans vote for the All Star starters.  Personally, Troy Glaus from Toronto should start.  Both have scored 50 runs, and ARod is hitting 8 pts higher (.281 for ARod, .273 for Glaus), but Glaus has 6 more HR's and 5 more RBI's.

Berkman is good.  It all depends on if you have another good 2B.\n\nThink about this:  Soriano is way better than average 2B.  Berkman is good, but not way better than other OF.  All you need to do, is to add the numbers up and see if the new combination will give you better return.

My pick: Edwin Encarnacion\n\nEdwin has the huge benefit of hitting in the "Great American Ballpark" which should help boost his HR, and essentially RBI numbers. Edwin also has a more potent lineup to hit with.\n\nHowever, Conor will probably put up the higher avg. in the end though.

By far its Jim Thome... when he is healthy watch out he will be the AL MVP... but Travis Hafner is not so far

Do you mean:  Who is better at baseball?  \nIf so, your mind is too little to be out on its own.

bret boone giambi read juiced and you'll find out about plenty more.  I think adrian beltre's big year was aided by them, as well as miguel tejada's freakish weight and muscle gain.  not pujols, and i stand by that.

It depends if you have depth or not. I would not accept it. only because of these reasons.\n\n1. Willis will not have the same year he had last year. (less wins) his team does not have as much run production as last year. He is still a great picher though gives you K, ERA, WHIP\n\n2. I am still not sure about David Wight and the mets in generaled. He will not give you the same stats as A-rod. The Mets just can not win the division that they are in (Atlanta Braves own that division) \n\n3. A-Rod I think will have a big year he will give you Runs, RBI, HR, a ok steal (Joe Torrie) this spring training has made his team run more then the last few years.\n\nI do think you should think about a while you will get rid of you 6th or 7th pitcher for one of the best in baseball

Albert will get his mvp award on nov. 20th . I'll give Howard his just rewards for being a homerun hitter but the facts are , Pujols is a better all around hitter . A better fielder, a better base runner and now a world champion. He also missed 24 games with an injury this year and still hit his share of homers. The mvp goes to the most valuable player , not just the best homerun hitter.

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

Both Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramierez from Florida are putting up excellent numbers.  From a pure statistical standpoint, I would put Uggla slightly ahead of Fielder, and Ramirez slightly behind Fielder.  But it is very close in my opinion.

tough one. there is a tie between andy phillips and robinson cano. both have been doing great, but its not advertised. melky cabrera is close behind though. so i guess its your choice: phillips or cano
