To put all on one list for you, I'll go with the top 25 coveted players in Major League Baseball
(According to W.HI.P)

1) Evan Longoria 3rd base Tampa Bay Rays
Still only 24 years old, coming off a 100 run, 33 homer run, 113 RBI season.
His batting average is up to .300 this season and he has started stealing bases (13)
On the defencive side, there is no 3rd baseman close to being as good as Evan.
This is the most coveted players in baseball!

2) Jason Heyward Out Field Atlanta Braves
Jason's swing is as fast as a swing can be, and his power is evident.
Although only 20 years old, he's a very patient hitter, walking already 42 times in his first season.
Heyward's gonna be around for a very long time, so get used to him.

3) Joe Mauer Catcher Minnesota Twins
Even though this guy is 27, he remains the tiger woods of catchers.
He holds a career .323 batting average, coming off a remarkable .365 batting average season.
He's probably one the favorite catchers to throw to.
One could argue that he is the most coveted asset in the game.

4) Jonathon Broxton Closer LA Dodgers
This 26 year old, is the best pitcher in the game.
He's a closer, so he dosent' have to stay out there, but while he's up on the mound, he is the most dominating of them all.
Since pitching in the major leagues, he has 475 strike-outs in 355 innings,
Without argument, he is the best closer in the game.

5) Stephen Strasburg Starting Pitcher Washington Nationals
When this 21 year old takes the mound, everyone watches.
He's the most watched starting pitcher since he joined the major leagues, and he has not disapointed.
2.32 era, 1.01 whip, and 61 k's in 42.2 innings pitched.
Whats most remarkable about his pitch is its movement.
Strasburg has surpassed Lincecum as the #1 Starter in the game

6) Bryce Harper Outfield Washington Nationals
This is the youngest player on this list (17).
Although little has been seen from him, he is probably, the most coveted player in baseball.

7) Carl Crawford Outfield Tampa Bay Rays
This is one of my favorite players in baseball.
He's an all rounder with speed, power, fielding, and an overall perfection in all aspects of his game.
he's batting .321! He led all players in stolen bases with 60!
He's looking to better that as he has 31 half way through this season.

8) Tim Lincecum Starting Pitcher San Fransisco Giants
This 26 year old is a strike-out artist.
He has 807 strikouts in 715 innings pitched since joining the major leagues.
He's got a 2.94 era and a 1.17 whip.
His pitches have great movement, and his style of throwing is awesome.

9) Ryan Braun Outfield Milwakee Brewers
I'm not a fan of Braun, but i can't not put him in this list.
He's 26 years old, and is one of the abolute elite bats in the game.
He's got a career 305 batting average, and has 106 homeruns so far.

10) Joakim Soria Closer Kansas City Royals
One of the dominating pitchers in the game.
26 years old, with a career 2.13 era and 0.9 whip.
He records more than a strikout per inning

11) Tim Beckham Short Stop Tampa Bay Rays
Now here's a guy i'd want on my team!
This 20 year old is one of the best short stops i've seen play.
He's got speed, power, and elite fielding ability.
He's yet to join this world series rays team, but all eyes will be on him when he makes his anticipate debut!

12) Pedro Alvarez 3rd base Pittsburgh Pirates
This 23 year old has amazing abilities!
He just needs a little time in the major leagues to find his proper powerfull swing.
One may argue that Zimmerman would be a better option at 3rd base,
but I'd go with this guy who seems to have greater potential.

13) Manny Machado Short Stop Baltimore Orioles
This 18 year old is about as good as a prospect can get.
He's an all round player... should make his debut in the majors at 20 years old.
Watch out for this guy!

14) David Price Starting Pitcher Tampa Bay Rays
I've been talking about this guy for the past couple years.
He's 24 now, having the season of his life.
He's 12-4 with a 2.42 era this season!

15) Ryan Zimmerman 3rd base Washington Nationals
Ryan makes it 3 nationals in the top 15.
I suppose we should be seeing Washington in a pennant race in the next couple years?
Ryan is a .300 hitter over 100 run and 100 rbis, 33 homerun kinda guy.
He's 25, and a rare, good 3rd baseman.

16) Troy Tulowitzki Short Stop Colorado Rockies
Just like Ryan above, he's also a .300, 100 run/rbi 33 homerun kinda guy.
He's also 25.

17) Aroldis Chapman Pitcher Cincinnati Reds
At 21, he's about to make his major league debut with the reds.
Aroldis is clearly a starter, however, due to the multiple starters that the reds have, he may just start his career in the pen.
In time, he will get in the reds rotation.
His start is highly anticipated, and my bet is that he will not disapoint!

18) Austin Jackson Outfield Detroit Tigers
This 23 year old has a .300 batting average in his debut year for the detroit tigers.
He's the tigers lead-off man this season, doing a good job in center field.
Jackson has respectable speed.

19) Johny Venters Relief Pitcher Cincinnati Reds
Johny made his debut this year at 25, but he's been amazing!
He's got a 3-0 record with a save and a 1.30 era and a 1.10 whip.

20) Justin Smoak 1st base Seattle Mariners
He just made his debut in the majors at 23.
There's no doubt he's got power, he's just struggled a little bit so far, facing these major league starters.
I like what i've seen so far from this guy.....give him some time.

21) Elvis Andrus Shortstop Texas Rangers
At 21, this guy is ready for the majors!
He's fast, with fielding ability, and he's not afraid to swing the bat, recording 92 hits in 84 games this year.

22) Joey Votto 1st base Cincinnati Reds
One of the absolute elite 1st basemen in the majors.
At 26, he's got a .311 career batting average.

23) Tyler Clippard Relief pitcher Washington Nationals
I've been watching 25 year old Clippard over the past couple years.
If this guy ever sorts out some of the control issues that he has, he'll be lights out!

24) Donovan Tate Outfield San Diego padres
What an athlete this 19 year old is!
Top of the line. he can do anything!
It might be a year or two before we get to see him in the majors, but i'll be watching!

25) Drew Pomeranz Starting Pitcher Clevland Indians
Pomeranz is a 21 year old left handed pitcher.
I've seen him a couple times, and i can tell you that he's more than worthy of being on this list.
I highly await his major league debut!
