Pujols and Cabrera were followed by Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp (14 percent), Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz (nine percent), Rangers infielder Michael Young (five percent) and Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano (three percent).

Below is what the players had to say about Cabrera on the program:

"He's been amazing. You've got to basically throw him the kitchen sink every single time. He can hit anything, wherever it is. He's just on top of his game." -- Rangers pitcher Derek Holland

"I think the most dangerous hitter in the American League is Cabrera. He's unbelievable. He's been doing it a long time even though he's still young." -- Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira.

"He can beat you any way. He can go opposite field on you. He can pull the ball. It doesn't matter, he's always a tough out." -- Blue Jays pitcher Ricky Romero.

"He's just got such quick hands where if someone tries to come in on him, boom, he just turns on it. You try to go away, he just takes it the other way." -- Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas

"Cabrera really scares you. It's those guys that are good hitters and have power that really scare you." -- Cardinals outfielder Matt Holiday
