Re: The Most Feared Hitter Today
I went with Pujols and didn't hesitate for a second as i found this to be a no-brainer. He is the best pure hitter in the game today and has been for the past few years. If it wasn't for Bonds, this guy would already have three MVP's. With RISP, you want this guy up as long as its not an All Star game. What the **** was LaRussa thinking? Pujols' IBB's this year help make my point. Hey, ESPN got something right! Pujols has reached base in every game this year!
Re: The Most Feared Hitter Today
I am bias, because Chipper is one of my favorites in the game. But he always seems to get the key hit when the Braves need. And being a switch hitter, and that can make manager's decisions tougher late in the game. Plus he has power form both sides, and doesnt always swing for the fence.
Re: The Most Feared Hitter Today
Billy Butler has reached base in every game this year too. Maybe he should be on the poll.
Re: The Most Feared Hitter Today
Who the **** is scared of Billy Butler?
Answer: No one. He does not belong on the poll. Poor attempt to be a smartass:)

Agreed. That guys is one of the best first pitch hitters I've ever seen, and that aggressiveness alone is scary. Add the fact that he's a great hitter, and you've got one ferocious hitter.

How is Matt Stairs not on this poll? He just had a two-homer game.

Because I don't think I am even scared of Matt Stairs. I could take him down.
Re: The Most Feared Hitter Today
I gota go with Pujols, I'm a fan of Manny Ramirez, but wherever Manny has played he always had good hitters hitting behind him or in front of him, unlike Pujols who doesn't have anyone as scary as Ortiz hitting either behind him or ahead of him.

As one of our player sponsored pages at Baseball-Reference, I don't think we can let this stand.
The council of elders may very well vote to ban you.
Re: The Most Feared Hitter Today
Adam Jones is sponsored too so he should be on the poll with and only with Matt Stairs.

Re: The Most Feared Hitter Today
pujols is definitely 1 right now, but manny is still right behind him.
Re: The Most Feared Hitter Today
David "Monkey" Ortiz.
He's a manbeast...plus he rakes against the Yankees...Manny has really come back to Earth against us, and that's really all I'm educated on.
Can someone look up their stats in the clutch? I'm interested.
