Adrian Gonzalez : October 15th, 2008, 6:25 pm est
The 26-year-old Gonzalez continues to get better, as evidenced by making his first NL All-Star team and reaching career highs in home runs, RBIs and walks (74), all without a much protection in a lineup that mostly struggled in 2008. He even hit 14 home runs at roomy PETCO Park. Put simply, he's among the NL's top run producers and first basemen.
