Most feared hitters
Who are the five hitters you absolutely dread facing when they come up to bat against your team? These guys may not be the best hitters in baseball, but they scare you more than anyone else. Here's my five.
1. Albert Pujols - He kills everyone, but he seems to homer every other at-bat against the Braves.
2. Barry Bonds - I'm not burying him yet. He's still Bonds.
3. David Ortiz - In the big spots, this is the last guy I want to see up there.
4. Adam Dunn - Especially when we're facing him in Great American Ball Park. You're just waiting for him to launch one 500 feet.
5. Jimmy Rollins - This guy just flat-out owns the Braves. Never an easy out.
Others: Ryan Howard, Carlos Lee, Carlos Delgado, Miguel Tejada

you should watch bonds as much as i do. he's got virtually nothing left, especially if they throw it to the outer half. that being said, here's mine:
1) Pujols- he kills everyone
2) Counsell- we could never get him out
3) dave roberts- tortures our pitchers
4) B. Giles- never have i seen a guy drive in more runs with doubles up the alley
i can't think of anyone else right now.

1. Albert Pujols: no explanation needed
2. Ryan Howard: it seems like every at bat he hits a home run off us
3. Carlos Lee: he kills the reds
4. Bill Hall: we can never get him out
5. Carlos Delgado: always hits it hard against us
