Jose Abreu Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'd switch Abreu and Encarnacion, but otherwise, good list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I think Abreu should be one or two spots higher. I have my doubts about Miggy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 You can remove Brandon Belt and put in Pujols unless he's a DH now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Encarnacion isn't really a 1B. He played 59 games there last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 24, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) Nah, when healthy Miggy is #1. Well yeah but he turns 33 this April. When 100% and in his athletic prime Pujols is #1 out of active players but time is undefeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Votto, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Votto, maybe not. Yeah but Cabrera hit that point where there's always something nagging him a couple years ago. He'll still hit, but he'll always be fighting through something sore.

When 100% and in his athletic prime Pujols is #1 out of active players but time is undefeated. I understand that, but that's why I'm fine with his ranking. The nagging injuries knocks him down a couple spots. I don't think the Pujols comparison is fair because right now if they're both healthy Miggy is way better.

LittleHurt05 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Paul Goldschmidt is a beast. Remember the Goldy for Konerko trade "rumors"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember following him when he was a minor leaguer and telling my Dbacks friend about him. Now of course he's a f***ing stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GamesToLove Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't have any issues with this list. I love Abreu, but in 2015 he was merely a good player, as opposed to his rookie year when he was truly a great player. He may well return to that level. We'll have to see.

He was playing through a lot of nagging injuries in 2015 and still managed to put up 30+/100+. The offseason will do him wonders in terms of recovery.

fathom Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The coming home special on Abreu was great. He's such a fascinating individual, I would love to see him make the World Series and get national attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
