| Mike Trout |
He's one of the best pure hitters in game, and he plays a solid center field while adding value on the bases. Trout's also thus far been uncommonly durable. And there you have it. Please use the comments section below to rank, from one to 100, what you're most furious about.

| Bryce Harper |
The reigning NL MVP absolutely punished the ball last season despite still being quite young. That level of production is in keeping with what's been expected of Harper pretty ever since he was drafted.
 |
| Clayton Kershaw |
He just turned 28, he's got a career ERA+ of 154, and he's won three Cy Youngs and an MVP. Oh, and he has a 1.87 ERA over his last 100 starts. Yes, Kershaw is the best pitcher on the planet.

| Andrew McCutchen |
Pittsburgh Pirates | CF
After McCutchen got clear of the knee injury that bothered him early in the season in 2015 and was able to recruit his lower half into his swing again, he hit like the MVP-grade performer we know him to be. Expect McCutchen again to be one of the most valuable performers in all of baseball this season.

| Paul Goldschmidt |
The NL's best pure right-handed hitter? Quite possibly. In addition to hitting for power and getting on base at an impressive clip, Goldschmidt also adds significant value in the field and on the bases.

| Josh Donaldso |
Toronto Blue Jays | 3B
Donaldson of course boasts a plus glove at the hot corner, and last season he leveraged a more aggressive approach in his hitter-friendly home park to put up tremendous offensive numbers. With good cause, he's the reigning AL MVP.
Machado is possibly the best defensive third baseman in baseball (and good enough to be a fielding asset at shortstop), and last season he took a step forward with the bat. Expect the trajectory to continue in 2016. Machado's very simply one of the best players in all of baseball.
Sale's one of the elite bat-missers in the game today, as the 27-year-old lefty has struck a remarkable 28.4 percent of opposing batters over the course of his career. His numbers are even more impressive once you consider he's spent his entire career with a hitter's haven as his home park and in front of generally poor team defenses. Don't be surprised if he wins the AL Cy Young in 2016.
Boston's $217 million arm is indeed an established ace. Entering his age-30 campaign, Price owns a career ERA+ of 126, and over the last two years he's averaged 234 innings per season with 2.88 ERA and 5.34 K/BB ratio.
Yes, Posey's gradually seeing his time behind the plate ramped down, but last season he still topped 900 defensive innings at catcher. As well, Posey's bat is All-Star caliber at any position.
