Hard to say, there are a ton. If I had to choose the guys I've enjoyed watching lately it would be

Felix
Gutierrez
Saunders
Ichiro "One Name" Suzuki (HAC ;))
Jack Hannahan

i made a poll, and was general when picking players, but wanted to stimulate the convo.

i liked him in pittsburgh a lot, thought he was getting paid too much for his style of play, but i just enjoy it as well.

I voted Longoria because I'm a sucker for young talent & stellar 3B defense.

He's actually paid his contract off every year, but moving forward he'll be relegated to a backup role once the Mariners (and likely will have his contract re-worked rather than have his option picked up) can find a suitable starter.

I like watching Yadi catch. Brendan has been great to watch play D this year. Ichiro is my favorite to watch bat. Ankiel on throws from the OF. Pitching, anyone with a great 12-6 curveball.

I would say Vladdy for LAA.

I never get tired of watching him hit . . . never seen a guy other than him that can hit a ball that hits the ground first.

I know it isn't popular to watch Nationals games, but I still am disappointed there weren't any Nats on your poll. :rolleyes:

I like watching John Lannan and Nyjer Morgan. Lannan carries himself with great amount of professionalism when he pitches, and Nyjer plays the game "all-out" which has brought to the team a sense of pride that they desperately needed.

Tim Wakefield.

Sorry, I know it's not a "sexy" choice, but I'm a sucker for the knuckleball. :D

And he's a "good soldier".

I picked Pedroia in the poll, but I like watching any of the red sox really.

I will tune into a game rarely without the sox, but I would watch
- a Lincecum start
- a knuckler (like Haegar)
- a game with the Padres or Pirates, maybe Reds (never get to see them)

Are you serious?
You must not have Charter cable then. I live not too far from Charlotte, have Charter, and am stuck with their broadcasting of FSN (Ohio?). Reds games are on all the time! I am sick of the REDS! :eek:

I also don't care for their commentators.

Wow - well, I have Direct TV, but honestly haven't looked thru the baseball channels much...I know I get the MASN channels for Nats/Orioles games, and Braves stuff as well...but haven't seen anything Reds related. Although, I wouldn't be surprised.

I will look out for FSN! Thanks.

Wow, that just went up a couple of days ago, huh?

Thx, Fili.

I've actually been on the hunt for a few more k-baller pics, Charlie Haeger being one of them. Maybe Jared Fernandez, too, if I can find one. It's surprisingly tough to find good action shots, where you get a good view of their individual grips. I've managed to round up about ten, over the years, but still haven't found good ones for those two guys. I may try to track down an R A Dickey one, too, if I've still got wall-space left to cover. :D
