The 2013 Top 5 Left Fielders in the Show (in order)
1. RYAN BRAUN Milwaukee Brewers #BrewCrew...Ok the speculation of Last Season did he or didn't he has heightened now Braun has appeared on another PED list supposedly. But the Numbers from 2011 and 2012 didn't change even though he stole Matt Kemp's NL MVP Trophy in 2012 and that;s the Bluedude's opinion and I'm sticking to that. 2012 Numbers...41 bombs 112 Ribbies and a .319 avg with a .987 OBP is right there with his 2011 numbers. Innocent until proven Guilty and he will stay at #1 for now but the Plot thickens and so does the Talent in Left Field in the Show.
2. CARLOS GONZALEZ "Car-Go"Colorado Rockies #Rocks (pictured right)...he had what he says was a down year but for many observers its just Car-Go being Car-Go. An average of. 303 with 22 HRs and 85 Ducks knocked in off the pond is big time no matter how you slice it. Yes 2010 was his best Year but he has enormous talent and is till an easy lock for Top 3 LF in the Show and he is my #2 and I know what may are thing where is "the Natural of Orange County"...Josh Hamilton?
3. JOSH HAMILTON "The Natural" Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim #Angels #Halos...lookout as who knows what kind of numbers he will have playing in the same line up as "El Hombre" Albert Pujols. "The Natural put up Numbers in the 1st half that most Major Leaguers would have been happy to have for the 162 in 2012. Look at these Numbers for 2012....43 Big Flies 128 Ribbies and a .285 avg.. Now numbers can be misleading as Josh put up almost 70% of that before the 2012 Mid-Summer's Classic. If he can be consistent in the Line Up with Pujols and Trout and Trumbo being "TnT" of Orange County...Explosion in the AL West.
4. JUSTIN UPTON Atlanta Braves #TomahawkChop....He had MVP-like Numbers in the 2011 Season then hit a wall in the 2012 season with only 17 round trippers and 67 knocked in. Now he joins Big Bro B.J. (Braves CF) and Jason Heyward (Braves RF) and this has the potential of being the Best OF in the Show and the Talent is oozing but can Justin maximize that Talent? I think he will get back to those 2011 Numbers because of his comfort level and not hearing the Trade Rumors 24-7-365.
5. YOENIS CESPEDES "La Potencia" Oakland Athletics #SwinginAs #As (pictured left)...he is as Athletic as they come in a Baseball Uniform and hit 23 bombs and 82 ribbies and missed a months worth of games. Yes the Athletics have Nice Young Pitching but Cespedes leads them in that line Up and on the Field. They do not get by the Rangers and get into Winning Time without Cespedes having the Year he had. The Cuban Import was worth the gamble the A's made in out bidding everyone for his services.
