the correct answer is Jason Heyward

ETA: but seriously, Adam Laroche has a pretty swing. And I like Pujols, though I tend to think lefty's swings look better. And Ryan Braun

Maybe currently active, but Griffey's swing still ranks up there in the all time list

I'm going with more the whole picture - stance, plate persona, and swing.

#1 Alex Rodriguez
Jason Castro is my underdog.

And I have to agree with LSUBoo - Mauer's swing is pretty. For some reason I don't watch the Twinkies a whole heck of a lot though.

all time favorites are Will Clark and Darryl Strawberry. I'd actually rank Darryl #1 because his whole plate persona was so badass. We'll probably never have another slugger like him in this age of weightlifting, morphing all these guys into fricking meathead mesomorphs. I guess Braun might be from the Darryl mold more than any other current power hitter.

In terms of looking good or badass......I say Strawberry, Will Clark, and of course....Dale Murphy.

In terms of pure sweetness, Junior hands down. Mauer definately looks very good. frick Arod.

obvious answer, but i think the OP meant active players. if it's all time then I agree it's Griffey or Ted Williams.

BJ Upton

Hard to say Upton since he's hitting .235 (and .241 last year).

In regards to Upton, I don't care that he's not really producing this year. This isn't a performance comparison. The dude has one of the most laconic, easy-looking swings I think I've ever seen.
