Must be in order. I'm trying to see where you guys/gays all put one player in particular.

You can answer it however you'd like...best hitter at this very second, best hitter overall, 5 hitters you'd take over anyone, etc.

Mine:

1) Josh Hamilton
2) Miggy Cabrera
3) Joey Votto
4) Albert Pujols
5) Matt Kemp

Hamilton
Votto
Kemp
Braun
Cabrera
Pujols

That's 6, but a clear top 6 IMO.

Until Pujols turns it around he's not in my top 5 anymore. I know this is probably just a slump but he has been brutal.

In no particular order:

Votto
Kemp
Cabrera
Hamilton
Braun*

Per Joel Luckhaupt on twitter (FSN statistician):
Joey Votto has a career .351 avg with RISP, which is the highest among all hitters (min 120 PA with RISP) since 1974. #Reds
Impressive. If you don't have him on your list, you're probably doing it wrong.

Though, technically, he should probably be #1. 'Cause he's the Number One Dunna. What what what what.

That's who I was trying to see if most had him in theirs.
