MLB's Top 25 Players Right Now - Part III: 1-10

It's that time, time for our final installment of the "Top 25 Players Right Now" series focusing on Players 1-10. This list consists of the best of the best in the game right now and those guys that you wouldn't mind having as your first draft pick in any Fantasy Baseball draft.

It should be an automatic lock on any list, when you consider who the Top 5 players are in the game, but there might be some debate and discrepancy come Players 6-10. However, as always, this is simply a prediction, something that is being done for fun, and an exercise that is throwing biased views out the window and being completely fair and accurate. It's not easy being terrific for many athletes in the game today, but for these 10 individuals, greatness comes everyday they walk onto the field.
