I would have to go with Carlos Guillen of the Detroit Tigers. He has batted over .300 for 4 years in a row and has a career batting average of .292.

Lance Berkman, the best switch hitting OF since Mantle.
EDIT: Beltran is an awful, converted switch hitter. Just look at his splits the last few years.

Chipper Jones, Mark Teixiera, Carlos Beltran, and Lance Berkman, even though Beltran and Berkman are having down years

Are you guys kidding me? Reggie Willits of the Angels. One of the leaders in batting averages in the American Lead, one of the leaders in on-base percentage, sees more pitches per at bat than anyone in the AL. Just because he isn't a big name player (he is a rookie) doesn't mean he isn't the best. Look beyond the big name players and you'll find quality players doing much better, and doing so very quietly. Willits is by far the best so far this year.

Victor Martinez...hits to all fields, career on base % .373, slugging .846, has 40 HR power, and is a career .302 hitter. Sweet swing from both sides.

Berkman is no slouch but over all four tool player Carlos Beltran is the best switch hitter.

I think Chipper Jones is a great switch hitter. I can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

Victor Martinez, normally you feel a little worried when someone come up to bat right handed but not with him. Power from both sides and average. Just no speed.

If he could stay healty, Chipper Jones still puts up good numbers from both sides of the plate, when he's healthy!
