Random Thoughts on MLB players

1B = Paul Goldschimdt--dynamic young hitter who the Diamondbacks wisely locked up for many years.  I voted him to start at 1B over Joey Votto.

3B Manny Machado--this is the guy I want my son to watch hit.  Alot of rewinding and pausing of the dvr when he comes up to the plate.  Did you see the play he made in the field the other night?? Wow! 

1B Allen Craig and OF Carlos Beltran = The St. Louis Cardinals didn't match Albert Pujols' price last season and have replaced him with this excellent hitting duo.  Genius front office move by Cards!

DH David Ortiz--with all due respect to one of my favorite right hand hitters of all time, Edgar Martinez, I believe that Ortiz goes down as the greatest designated hitter of all time.  He's got power numbers and 2 rings to prove it.

SS Starlin Castro = looks like a selfish, non-hustling ball player to me.  I bet the Cubs clubhouse can't stand him.

RHP Bartolo Colon = well deserved all-star nod for this ageless veteran.  One of the best stories of the year in my opinion.

OF Nick Swisher = my least favorite player in Major League Baseball.  He is a showboat guy who got the  most ridiculous contract for a position player in the off season.  When Aroldis Chapman threw behind him I chuckled.

RHP Mat Latos and RHP AJ Burnett = Who has more tattoos I wonder? 

OF Ryan Braun = I seriously need you to get healthy dude, you are killing one of my fantasy teams.  I had to pick up Nick Swisher to replace you the other day.  Agh!

1B Chris Davis= The more I read about this guy, coupled with the tremendous (dare I say, MVP) year he is having, the more I like him.

2B Roberto Alomar = I think I speak for all of Major League Baseball (and Chipper Jones) when I say, you should have spit on Angel Hernandez when you played.
