Who are your top 5 hitters in MLB?

• SportsAndLady

  

  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.

  ^In order?

  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*
• Crimson streak

  

  1. Kemp
  2. Braun
  3. M Cabrera
  4. Hamilton
  5. Jeter
• justincredible

  

  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.
• thavoice

  Votto should be on everyone's list.
  
  Dude is clutch.

  That's who I was trying to see if most had him in theirs.
  
  Got in an argument with my pirates fan friend who said hes top 10. I said top 3 he thought I was crazy.
