There are many good players, pitchers and hitters alike, but only one guy who can do both very well, and thats dontrelle willis. Dontrelle Willis is the best baseball player in the major leagues today because he is still young and very capable of being a cy young award pitcher while at the same time hitting better than some position players. He has good speed noticable from the triples he has hit, a good arm which makes him a good pitcher and good defense. Talk about the second coming of Don Newcombe, the only baseball player in history to win the ROY, Cy Young, and MVP dontrelle has already won the ROY and almost won the cy young already. with time he might add power and go for the single season home run record by a pitcher.

Mantle, Williams, Dimaggio, Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Mays, Rose, just to name a few. But these are considered the greatest of all time, so Pujols is right there with them, but he still has to prove it over his whole career. I hope he does, hes a great ball player.

It would be hard to top Ozzie Smith in his prime.  They didn't call him the magician for nothing.  Brooks Robinson was also incredible at times.  Right now, Derek Jeter comes closest to getting to things and making plays that are simply beautiful

you got to say ty cobb because he is one of the top ten greatest of all time but you have to put trammell and lou whitaker al kaline gates brown hank greenbergh, and hal newhouser i would have to say the greatest now is future hall of fame catcher ivan rodriquez he has a ton of playoff experience so when they get deep into the playoffs this year he can be a good leader

David Ortiz. He is arguably the most clutch hitter in all of the Major League.

The SF Giants will win the NL West why you say well let me explain, we now have a player back what was his name o yeah the greatest player in MLB history Barry Bonds with some back up like Moises Alou, Randy Winn, Mike Matheny, and an addition Steve Finley but we also have pitching Jason Schm-idt he'll be better because last year he had injury problems, Matt Morris from the Cardinals what more can be said, Noah Lowry a future all-star, Matt Cain another future all-star but also some solid bullpen action Tim Worrell former Giant great and a closer who will have a better year then last he was also injured Armando Benitez.

In the AL I'll say Ichiro Suzuki because he is the better all around player. DH players have never won the AL MVP so that would exclude (Hafner, Thome and Ortiz). \n\nIn the NL I'll say Albert Pujols but only if he returns from the DL. Otherwise, I'll say Lance Berkman (it will depend if he can carry the Astros to the playoffs).

In my opinion, the Boston Red Sox is the best team around right now. No offense to all the Yankees fans, but your pitching is very weak. Randy Johnson is reaching the age in which he doesn't have the power like he did 5 years ago. The Yankees are also really struggling with all of these injuries;  their best players are out for quite a while. The Red Sox on the other hand, have a totally regenerated team. Beckett is just whipping baseballs past the batters. Mike Lowell's new friend is the Green Monster. He hits that wall whenever he is at home. Their team has the power to take it all this year. The key to winning is: Pitching, Batting, Defense, Sportsmanship.

Jeff Kent. He's solid with the glove and has one of the best bats. His age will soon be a factor as he's already lost a step or two. But he's a hall of famer who can still drive the ball and make all the plays he's supposed to. \n\nIn a few years Chase Utley will likely be the best. He had a great season last year and it's likely that he'll continue to do so. \n\nAlfonso Soriano is by far not the best. His defense is putrid and his offense isn't nearly as good as others think. He does't get on base enough and he's a product of hitting in good hitters parks. He can hit the ball out of the park once in a while, but he's not a guy I want playig for my team.

Pujols. He's just going to keep getting better (which is unfortunate since I'm a Cubs fan).

Albert Pujols of The ST. Louis Cardinals no doubt
