Manoman’s Top 20 (20-11)
This is the first entry of a 2 part series titled Manoman’s Top 20
I was thinking about doing something like:
-
The Top Awesome Players That Are Now Playing Today
-
My Grand Slam Crew of Active Baseball Players
I was even thinking of doing something like…
-
The 20 Most Spectacular Men That Are Playing the Game of Baseball Today
(thankfully I didn’t go there)
So with that, let’s get on with the list!!!
20. Adrian Gonzalez 1B
Always flying under the radar and puts up great numbers at the massive Petco Park.
.
19.Dustin Pedroia 2B
The “Little Man” had great numbers in 2008 and he won the MVP Award. Even though he is a Red Sox, I like him because he shows so much determination and dediication to the game of baseball.
18. Nick Markakis RF
He is a consistent threat at the plate and makes great plays in the outfield.
17. Grady Sizemore CF
Grady is a great young hitter with 40-40 potential and he is very exciting to watch on the field.
16. David Price SP
David is an amazing young pitcher who is going to be the next Johan Santana. He has electric stuff and is the future ace of the Rays.
.
15. Jorge Posada C
He is a homegrown Yankee who has played with the club for more than 10 years now. He also provides great leadership and order to the pitching staff and is cool to watch in the game.
.
14. Ichiro Suzuki RF
I like how Ichiro plays the game and he is practically a guarantee to get on base every time he is at bat. He has gold glove caliber fielding and he is a steals machine.
13. CC Sabathia SP
CC is now in N.Y.C. and with him comes at least 15 victories and a great attitude. I feel like he is one of my “home boys”.

12. Mark Teixeira 1B
Mark is an up-beat kind of guy that brings his best to the field every game and always has a smile on his face.

Thanks for the congratulations and the compliment. I really appreciate it. What do you think about the latest A-Rod fiasco with this hip of his? His brother swears he’s having the surgery but then the Yankees release a statement saying he isn’t.

Nice list.
I see the trio of Pedroia, Markakis and Sizemore only getting better every year. I honestly did not even think of Gonzalez for this list. But you are right his number do support him on here.
I can’t wait to see the Top 10 players. I know of a few who are missing here that might make that list………Great blog.
