Andrew at Defensive Indifference lists the 10 sports figures he blogged about most in 2007, as requested by the incomparable Jamie Mottram. As I did last year, I’m again participating in this project (thanks, Jamie!). Following Andrew’s lead, here is my list, in alphabetical order:
- Barry Bonds. His stories pretty much write themselves.
- Miguel Cabrera. Anyone who gets scolded by Ozzie Guillen for being too fat is okay in my book.
- Fausto Carmona. One of the biggest surprises of 2007.
- Daisuke Matsuzaka. Not as good as the hype, but still pretty good.
- Gil Meche. Irresponsible spending almost got the Royals out of last place.
- Jake Peavy. Bounced back from poor (by his standards) ‘06 season.
- Carlos Pena. Where did that come from?
- Alex Rodriguez. Takes abuse from everyone, but still great.
- C.C. Sabathia. Out-Santana’d Santana.
- Barry Zito. Hey, at least the Giants only have 6 years left on his deal.
Stay tuned for Jamie’s full list…
Great list! I always find it difficult to limit myself to 10 when making a top 10 of anything. But I love reading other people’s lists!
