It’s more than a couple months into the 2009 fantasy baseball season and a few players are swinging an incredibly hot bat. Here are the top five hottest fantasy baseball players:
1. Mark Teixeira, New York Yankees
When the Yankees signed Teixeira to a $180 million deal, many baseball experts and baseball fans scoffed at the contract. Now? Teixeira is hitting so well that no one is talking about the contract anymore.
2. Raul Ibanez, Philadelphia Phillies
Ibanez has been in the news a lot, mostly due to his hot bat. However, he also got in the news for getting mad at a blogger.
3. Justin Morneau, Minnesota Twins
When it comes to the best hitters in baseball, Morneau is sometimes forgotten. That is a mistake. The Twins’ first baseman is a hitting machine.
4. Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins
It’s amazing that Mauer missed all of the exhibition due to injury and then once he was healthy he starting hammering the baseball. Mauer and Morneau have been the best duo in baseball as of late.
5. Ben Zobrist, Tampa Bay RaysDefinitely the surprise of this list, Zobrist has played better than anyone could have imagined. Over the last month, he has an on-base percentage of .505 to go with seven homers, 22 RBIs, 23 runs and five steals.
