Of the top 100 batters according to Bloomberg Sports, here are some of the names that jump out at me:

 The Mets organization may not think Ike Davis is Major League ready just yet, but the young first baseman will see plenty of action in spring training. With the Mets resting most of their regulars in yesterdays spring opener, Davis got the start at first base against the Atlanta Braves.
