MLB Preview 2017: Top 100 Players in the Game Today
By David Hill
With the 2017 MLB season almost upon us, let us take a look at the top 100 players in the game today.
The 2017 MLB season is rapidly approaching, with the regular season almost upon us. Spring Training, and the overall exhibition schedule, is finally over. We have had our chance to enjoy the World Baseball Classic, and while those games have been exciting, there is just nothing quite like regular season baseball.
This year, there will be a number of players who impact their team’s fortunes. Quite a few of them are obvious, but there will be unsung players who explode on the scene. Prospects came up and dominate, or a player finally has that breakout season. Then, there are those players who truly come out of nowhere, going from a journeyman to a key part of a team’s postseason aspirations.
Nonetheless, there are those players who, going into a season, one has to expect will be amongst the best in the game. Those players who, if everything happens as expected, will be contending for the All Star Game or different awards at the end of the year. Those players who, when we turn on the highlights the next morning, will be prominently displayed.
Who will those players be in the 2017 season? Let us take a look at the top 100 players heading in to this year.
