Who do you think is the best player in the MLB? Why do you think that player is the best?

Barry Bonds because he hits home runs non stop!

This season most people undoubtedly will say A-Rod for his monster numbers this year and overall, yet he has yet to win a ring constantly "choking" in the post-season. For that reason i will have to say Josh Beckett. IF he doesn't win Cy Young, I'll be surprised. He had not only a monster year, he overall has command, and is very young, and now has already his second world series ring with a different team. The fact that he was able to get a ring with not even a superior team in the Marlins says much for his overall impact, whereas A-Rod can blast HRs all season long yet barely make post-season or fall well short of advancment.
