Top MLB Players of 2008 by Position

***READ***
I compared the stats of players from every position and I decided which ones i thought performed the best through the 2008 season. I mainly used their RBI production and their runs scored while comparing stats. This is only an opinion and yes I know A-rod and other big players are good, but some did not get enough playing time for me to consider in this video.

Fuck you. BRad Lidge was perfect last year. HE was the best closer in the MLB. He went from first to worst. And your a mets fan? Well no blown saves in 2008, thats pretty impressive.
