2009 Top Ten Overall Hitters
An article by 
The 2009 Bill James Handbook projects the following hitters to be in the top ten in Runs Created this season.
| Hitter | Age | 2009 Team | Runs Created |
| Albert Pujols | 29 | Cardinals | 159 |
| Miguel Cabrera | 26 | Tigers | 135 |
| Ryan Braun | 25 | Brewers | 134 |
| David Wright | 26 | Mets | 134 |
| Josh Hamilton | 28 | Rangers | 131 |
| Hanley Ramirez | 25 | Marlins | 131 |
| Ryan Howard | 29 | Phillies | 130 |
| Mark Teixeira | 29 | Yankees | 130 |
| Alex Rodriguez | 33 | Yankees | 128 |
| Lance Berkman | 33 | Astros | 127 |
Note: Age is seasonal as of June 30, 2009.
I didn’t expect to see Miguel Cabrera ranked so high or Alex Rodriguez so low. It’s nice to know that the highly regarded Bill James expects a huge season from David Wright.
On another note, I think Mets.com is having some issues…
At 4:04 PM they posted an article entitled: Anderson caps another rally for Mets
At 4:56 PM they posted an article entitled: Anderson’s bat aiding Reed’s chances

Went to my first Mets game, a Mayors Trophy game at Shea, in '73. We beat the Yankees 8-4 and I was hooked. I marched in two Banner Day parades, and before the Grand Slam single, there was the "Hendu Can Do" grand slam - I was there. I've collected Mets memorabilia all my life and started Mets Merized Online to feed my addiction.
