Buster Posey Buster Posey has the Joe Mauer-esque potential to win a batting title from the catcher position. The San Francisco Giants star has experienced a meteoric rise. The 2008 draftee skipped  AA altogether and a got a September call up in 2009 and was the league’s rookie offensive leader

BJ Upton (credits below) B.J. Upton and Bilbo Baggins have a ton in common, seriously. Just go with this allegorical journey…it’ll be over quicker if you don’t complain. The ring Bilbo finds in the goblin tunnels is really the one thing that helped him survive an incredibly dangerous journey. The
