'Dunner' [the White Sox's Adam Dunn] is the best talker in the world," says Royals outfielder Jeff Francoeur. "When I'm on first, he'll say to me, 'You don't have a big enough lead.' Or, 'You have too big a lead.' He gets pissed when you make him jump off the bag and get in fielding position. It really pisses him off when you hit a double and he has to trail you to second. He's yelling at you the whole way for making him run to second."


Pierzynski says: "Miguel Cabrera's bat makes the loudest sound. That's easy. He hit a ball last year that went so far -- about 520 feet to dead center field -- my ears are still ringing from that. After the inning, I had to go get my ears checked to see if they were bleeding."

Francoeur says: "I played with Chipper [Jones]. I played with Billy [Butler]. I played with Josh Hamilton. There is nothing like the sound that's made when Josh crushes a baseball."
