Top Ten Favorite A’s Players (Aug 2007)

Louismg’s doing a survey on AN. Before peeping everyone’s answer (I’m very easily influenced,) here’s mine.
1. Mark Ellis
I don’t think there’s any question about it. Mu screen name, EllisFanatic, says it all. As his errorless streak continues, he’s also improving in offense. He now leads in number of home runs for second baseman in 2007. But that doesn’t really matter to me. I like Mark Ellis because he’s so subtle yet he shines. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, everyone listens. And I LOVE seeing him make the plays.
2. Nick Swisher
It had to be Nick. ‘Cause we were born on the same day. And I love him being a talkative first baseman. And he usually looks happy to be on the field while working hard.
3. Joe Blanton
Cupcakes! I don’t know why. I just love this guy.
4. Travis Buck
Star rookie! The lineup always looks better with him in it. Love his game-ending diving catch as well!

5. Jack Hannahan.
He’s the kind of subtle yet quality guy I like.
6. Daric Barton
He’s gaining Buck status really quick and it seems that he’s not as injury-prone as Buck. Got good eyes and power, and also shows a will to learn.
