Jamie Moyer: Getting it done!

A 78 MPH fastball will win some games for you as long as you can locate it. Moyer, at the age of 49, has become the oldest pitcher to win a game in major league history. He has also faced 8.9% of all the batters in major league history, and that is a fact. Even taking into account players like Babe Ruth and the all time greats that played before he was born.

Its different to say that he one this game as a member of the Colorado Rockies and not the Philadelphia Phillies. This is an impressive accomplishment because the guy is almost 50 years old and he is still doing what he loves. Plus, it cannot be forgotten, that he is coming off Tommy John surgery.



Players 26 - 50

Matt Cain has got to be one of the most underrated players in the league. I had no idea that he had a sub 3.00 ERA this past season. He also racked up a good amount of strikeouts, 179 in total. Carlos Gonzalez of the Colorado Rockies is ranked at 46 and I see no reason why he isn't inside the top 25. He is a legitimate 30 - 30 threat that plays great defense. Cargo, as they call him, is one of the few players that is a true five tool player. Jose Reyes, the new shortstop of the Miami Marlins, is ranked 26th. When healthy, he is fully deserving of this ranking, if not a higher one. But health is half the battle.

Players ranked from 11 - 25 come out later today. Then on Tuesday, April 3, ESPN will release their top 10 players in the game today.
