Who are your top 10 favorite players to watch in the game today?

1) Yadier Molina- biased but people who don't watch this guy every day and/or follow the Cardinals really have no grasp how good he is. Top 10 player in the game, could go down as the greatest defensive catcher of all time.
2) Jose Reyes- when healthy
3) Yoenis Cespedes- makes you stop and watch him take an AB
4) Cliff Lee- unreal and under appreciated
5) Miguel Cabrera- best pure hitter in the game
6) Mike Trout- not much to say
7) Tulo- when healthy
8) David Price- have always liked watching him pitch
9) Justin Upton- top 5 player in league so far this season & top 5 talent
10) Andrew Mccutchen- electrifying talent

(Matt Kemp wouldve easily made this list 2 yrs ago)

1. Anthony Rizzo - homer pick; but there is no doubt something special about him
2. Clayton Kershaw - need I say more? I love watching him pitch
3. Bryce Harper - pure jaw dropping talent
4. Jonathan Lucroy - excellent offensive catcher and I hunted with him last Fall, down to earth guy
5. Buster Posey - see Bryce Harper
6. Mike Trout - see Buster Posey
7. Starlin Castro - Go Cubs Go
8. Miguel Cabrera - You like see ball go far?
9. Jared Weaver - dude can hurl
10. Joey Votto - no one in the game squares up on a baseball better

I can't come up with a list off the top of my head. But I know if you don't like watching Brandon Phillips play 2nd base, then you just don't like baseball.

I only watch the braves but I get wood every time Kimbrel walks to the mound

Don't really have a top 10. Watching Simmons play shortstop is a joy

I understand you said you are bias but at the same time I cannot fathom how Molina is your #1 favorite player to watch. Nothing about Molina is fun or enjoyable.

Kimbrel is extremely fun to watch.
I hate Bryce Harper but dammit he's fun to watch.
Justin Upton currently.
Hamilton was pretty fun to watch when he was on his 1-2 week tear last season.
Kershaw/Felix are always ridic to watch.
Cabrera - obvious reasons

ETA my bias picks would be gattis and medlen

Aroldis Chapman - If he's in the game, I'm not turning away. His dominance is something else.
Andrew McCutchen - Unbelievable athlete who took a huge step last year by showing he can also hit for average.
Jose Reyes - Love watching this guy on first base.
Mike Trout
Bryce Harper
Clayton Kershaw - Hell of a pitcher. He also loves Texas A&M.
Brandon Phillips - He's a goofball who wants every ball hit his way to be a web gem on Baseball Tonight.
Justin Upton - Dude is just good at baseball. I feel bad for B.J.
Ben Revere. Like Reyes, I love to watch his games from first base. That catch last night also has me in love right now. Seems like a good guy, too.
Yu Darvish - This guy has so much in his arsenal.

I'm actually super surprised that nobody has named Chapman.
