First, let me say how much I enjoy MLB Network. By and large they do a great job with programming and day-to-day baseball coverage. I'm even intrigued by the network's positional "Top 10 Right Now" series.
Today I watched the RF edition. Take a guess who topped that list.
Ichiro!
For those of you scoring at home, that's the same player who "slugged" .394 last year.
I like Ichiro as much as the next guy, but calling him the league's best RF "Right Now" is borderline criminal. If it's truly a "Right Now" list, then how the hell did he finish ahead of players like Shin-Soo Choo, Nelson Cruz, Jayson Werth, and Jose Bautista? Jose Bautista hit 54 bombs last year!
I hope the rest of the "Top 10" series doesn't follow this disturbing path. If it does, get ready for Todd Helton to lead the 1B line-up.
