who's the hottest player in the AL?
404164
By far its Jim Thome... when he is healthy watch out he will be the AL MVP... but Travis Hafner is not so far
1161631
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.

Hank Aaron Or Joe Dimmagio

Delhomme - Smith is red hot\nb

Pujols without a doubt.  Thome is know to go into some major slumps.  Right now Pujols could be on his way to being one of the greatest PLAYERS ever.  His numbers are staggering for such a short career so far.  He is as intimadating as hell.  I saw him golf swing a pitch last week that still hasn't landed yet.  The pitch was at his ankles and he made it look effortless.  If he stays healthy on this pace, he has a chance someday to break almost every offensive category (HR/Season, HR/Career, RBI, Average).

Well, there are a couple of hot dudes in the NBA right now but if I had to name only one, it would have to be Mr. Michael Redd. If I'm not mistaken, he's leading the league in scoring right now and he has a 57 point game on the season. \n\nThe dude that has the shivers in my mind is T-Mac! Plain is simple, McGrady is too freakin' talented to be putting up 18 ppg. Seriously, Houston doesn't have such an offensive punch that Mac AND Yao can't both average high 20's!

must be Ron Santo. Isnt he the only legendary 3rd baseman we have had.
615630
NL - Webb and Pujols\nAL - Buehrle (my choice would be Verlander) and Thome
98105
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.
646425
Right now... Jim Thome. Career... A-Rod. Go Cards!!!
160475
I think it's JJ Redick of Duke.  He's going to win Player of the Year over Morrison of Gonzaga by a couple votes.
603037
I would choose francisco liriano... because hes a lefty who throws mid 90s and hes only 22 and i would say david wright... he has one of the best swings in baseball and hes a good defensive player... the cubs need a solid third baseman and a pitcher who can actually pitch in 30 games rather be hurt for 100...\nBTW im not a cubs... but i do like derrick lee... sacramento boy and im from sacramento...

1. Yankees - Wang (Johnson had a 5.00 ERA this year)\n2. A's - Rich Harden (Zito is a free agent)\n3. Red Sox - Schilling\n4. Twins - Santana\n5. Angels - John Lackey (far better than Colon)\n6. Blue Jays - Halladay\n7. Marlins - Sanchez\n8. Dodgers - Maddux\n9. Mets - Glavine\n10. Cards - Carpenter\n11. Tigers - Verlander

Albert Pujols, because he's awesome. Go Cards!!!
1131433
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
505034
The first two to pop into my mind are Ozzie Smith, and Willie Mays, but that leaves out COUNTLESS other great players.  I'll edit this after I think a bit...\n\nAll right, with 16 consecutive gold gloves I'll throw Brooks Robinson in as number 3.\n\nHere's a list by position for the AL, year by year, (the list at the bottom includes both leagues)
248103
Podsednik, Ichiro, Damon, Crawford, Pierre.\n\nIn that order.  Podsednik first because he has the highest on base percentage (at least last year) and perhaps the best purest speed.  He Ichiro and Damon all had similar on base percentage last year, which is by far the most important factor in sleecting a lead off man, and both Damon and Ichiro would seem to be on the decline.
