After a lot of back and forth in my mind- it's got to be Ryan Braun. A good case can be made for any of the top three. Here's my overall list*:
1. Ryan Braun
2. Kevin Youkilis
3. Ian Kinsler
4. Craig Breslow
5. Jason Marquis
6. Gabe Kapler
7. John Grabow
8. Scott Feldman
9. Scott Schoeneweis
10. Brad Ausmus
* List modified to include Jason Marquis- great catch by the esteemed Ron Kaplan.

Has to be Youkilis.
What about Jason Marquis? 11-9 for the Cubs with a decent ERA has to rank higher than Feldman and those who follow.
In addition, I wonder if there has ever been a better trio of Jewish hitters playing at the same time than Youkilis, Kinsler and Braun (and I'd even toss Kapler in there).
Ron,
You are exactly right- I will revise.

I'm new to this blog. Schoenweis is #9? I take it there are only 10 Jewish players in the bigs. That's not a knock, just shock. (For ethnic Chinese players, #9 would probably be a minor leaguer)
