2) Albert Pujols - best bat
3) Tim Lincecum

10) John Danks
11) Dan Haren

12. CC Sabathia
13. Grady Sizemore
14. Nick Markakis
15. Dustin Pedroia
Other mentions:

- Shin-Soo Choo - amazing offensive season; only 400 PAs
- Joe Mauer

- Johan Santana
A question!
Would Teixeira qualify as an AL player when only 224 of his plate appearances were in the AL?
1. Manny Ramirez 7.84 WARR Solid 100 games in the AL (.926 OPS), an uptick in 53 games in the NL (1.232 OPS) and then a monster post season. Post season adjustment jumped him into the top position.
2. Albert Pujols 7.46 WARR What is fast becoming a standard Pujols season
3. Tim Lincecum 7.35 WARR
4. Cole Hamels 6.98 WARR Well above average regular season, followed by a monster post season. Post season adjustment advances him several positions.
5. Cliff Lee 6.82 WARR best AL pitcher by quite a bit
6. CC Sabathia 6.73 WARR Solid season in AL (2.13 WARR in 18 games) but really turned it in when trade to NL (4.60 WARR in 17 games)
7. Johan Santana 6.64 WARR
8. Joe Mauer 6.63 WARR Best of a not very good crop of AL hitters in 2008.
9. Mark Teixeira 6.59 WARR Another player who picked it up a notch when trade to a different league. 2.89 WARR in 103 games in NL and 3.70 WARR in 54 games in the AL. Interesting that three players in the top 15 split their playing time between the two leagues.
10. Lance Berkman 6.55 WARR
11. Chase Utley 6.19 WARR includes post season adjustment
12. Ryan Ludwick 6.14 WARR
13. David Wright 6.12 WARR
14. Hanley Ramirez 6.11 WARR
15. Alex Rodriguez 5.92 WARR
Rest of the top 20
16. Chipper Jones
17. Roy Halladay
18. Matt Holliday
19. Dan Haren
20. Carlos Beltran
1. Albert Pujols, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals: easy number one; leads NL in OPS+ and RC while providing +18 defense
2. Chipper Jones, 3B, Atlanta Braves: 2nd in NL OPS+ and +10 fielding from the old guy
3. Chase Utley, 2B, Philadelphia Phillies: top ten in both OPS+ and RC with an amazing +31 fielding
4. Johan Santana, P, New York Mets: reclaims the mantle as the best pitcher in baseball

6. Cliff Lee, P, Cleveland Indians: leads the AL with a 167 ERA+
7. Roy Halladay, P, Toronto Blue Jays: great year for pitchers
8. Dustin Pedroia, 2B, Boston Red Sox: best position player in the AL
9. Hanley Ramirez, SS, Florida Marlins: a big bat (143 OPS+) while holding his own with the glove (-3 fielding)
10. Mariano Rivera, RP, New York Yankees: 2nd in WPA thanks to a 316 ERA+ in 70 IP
11. Alex Rodriguez, 3B, New York Yankees: 2nd in AL OPS+ with 150

Does anyone have league strength adjustments for 2008?
Final ballot-no postseason credit but some small credit for playing for a Division-contender:
1. Pujols--best player in the game
2. Utley--top two then a gap to #3
3. Teixeira--having great year split across two leagues makes you forget how excellent it was
4. Beltran--all around great player
5. Lincecum--top pitcher & a ton of strikeouts
6. Cliff Lee
7. Chipper Jones--would be top 3 if not for missed games
8. Markakis--great start to career but by this point he peaked
9. Wright--finding out how easy to forget how good he was
10.Sabathia--like Tex, great year split across leagues but CC was particularly good in NL & helped Brewers make postseason
11.Halladay--along with CC, complete game workhorses
12.Manny Ramirez--see Tex & CC, amazing after trade
13.Pedroia
14.A Rod
15.Berkman
Just missed--Mauer & McCann
