2009 Top Ten Overall Hitters

An article by Joe D Comments

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…
