Jose Guillen Makes #2 of the Best Designated Hitters of 2010

There are only nine everyday DH’s in the American League. DH is a position and will not be left out. Out of the nine DH’s, five of them really stand out as premier hitters that are contributing to their team in a big way.

2. Jose Guillen, Kansas City Royals: Guillen stands alone as the only player on the Royals with power. Guillen is another prototypical DH hitter. Guillen’s career average is .272 and he usually averages around 20-25 home runs a year when he’s on. This year Guillen is hitting .282 with 13 home runs and 47 RBI’s. Guillen is hitting a little better than usual, but it doesn’t really matter because the Royals aren’t going anywhere. Guillen is the second best DH on a second to last team. The problem with Guillen is his hot temper, many good teams will not touch Guillen because they don’t want to mess up their team chemistry. Guillen is on pace to have one of his best years ever and is distinguishing himself as one of the best DH’s in the league.
