Great answers so far, I didn't know if there were any switchies left.

Most of have already been listed; I'll also add Shane Victorino of the Phillies - a good, young, speedy player.
So, we have:
Mets - Jose Reyes (SS) and Carlos Beltran (CF)
Phils - Jimmy Rollins (SS) and Victorino (RF)
Braves - Chipper Jones (3B)
Yanks - Jorge Posada (C)
Indians - Victor Martinez (C)
Of course, in the past, Hall of Fame switch-hitters have ranged from: the speedy, acrobatic Ozzie Smith to the power-hitting, but slow Eddie Murphy to the "5-tool" Mickey Mantle.

The only good switch hitter left I think that is left,is Jorge Posada of the Yankees. The best switch hitter in baseball in my lifetime would have been Eddie Murray.

Whew! Glad to see Berkman's name finally popped up. Teixeira, too.
Omar Vizquel is still around. Jose Cruz. Dmitri Young is having a genuinely good year in Washington. Jimmy Rollins.
There's still some guys who go both ways.

The first name that comes to mind is Mark Texiera of Texas.
I'll be interested to read through a list of "Switch" hitters...

Lance Berkman, that's all I can think of. He hits a whole lot better from the left side though.
