From the Desk Of The Obvious: Derek Jeter has been lauded as baseball’s most marketable athlete. That’s like saying that white snow is the best tasting of all snow. There aren’t really a lot of options available.
Top 10 most marketable MLB players according to our friends at the SportsBusiness Daily:
1. Yankees SS Derek Jeter
2. Cardinals 1B Albert Pujols
3. Twins C Joe Mauer
4. Nationals P Stephen Strasburg
5. Phillies 1B Ryan Howard
6. Rays 3B Evan Longoria
7. Giants P Tim Lincecum
8. Mets 3B David Wright
9. Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez
t10. Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia
t10. Angels CF Torii Hunter
But seriously, who on that list would you even think of putting in front of Jeter? He’s an ad man’s wet dream. He’s a tall shortstop on baseball’s most publicized team. He’s not quite white and not quite black…it’s like HE’S BOTH OR SOMETHIN’, MAN. Oh, and he bangs lots of hot girls. That’s really the only part that impresses me. He could hit .334 every year, but it’s still not as impressive as hitting Minka Kelly.

I’m guessing Carlos Zambrano just missed making that list at #11. Seriously, Dustin Pedroia?
If he fucked that chick on the right I would call that more of an infield single than a homerun.
Hmmm, the blonde is reality ditz skank Megan Hauserman? Jeter most’ve gone 0-4 with 3Ks earlier that day to deserve that
If you’ve got a product that makes people uglier, I can think of no finer pitch man than Tim Lincecum.
Is that that Megan girl from VH1?
Pujols must be up there because of the latino market. He barely speaks english and I think he’s been in one commercial ever. Longoria should be #2. He’s clearly the heir apparent to Jeter. He’s a young good-looking dude with a ton of talent who bangs hot chicks.
Google “Evan Longoria girlfriend” and see the high quality tail he’s been pulling.
ICHIRO??
