Trivia Tuesday: 2,500 Hit Club

There are currently no active Major Leaguers who have 3,000 hits, but there are 7 active players (loosely defined as anyone not retired--ie, not Ken Griffey, Jr.) who have more than 2,500 hits. Of course, Derek Jeter is the next in line to hit the 3,000 mark with 2,885 hits (his GIDP to end last night's game notwithstanding), but who are the other 6 active players with more than 2,500 hits?

Bonus Question: Derek Jeter is currently 7th on the active list in batting average at .315, who are the 6 players ahead of him?

Answer in the comments below and I'll reveal the correct answers later. Good luck!

Update 12:15 PM : Second Bonus: 10 active players have hit over .300 for their careers but below Jeter's .315 mark. Can you name those 10?

    Manny (2553), A-rod (2644), and Damon (2553) are correct.

    Thome (2192), Chipper (2490) and Vlad (2376) are not correct

    Three more!

    Garret Anderson (2529) is correct

    Jim Edmonds (1944) is not

    Two more (plus the bonus)!

    Nice work! Pudge (2793) is second on the active list.

    Ichiro (.331) and Vlad (.320) are both correct for the bonus

    4 more to go on the bonus!

    I figure I'd add another bonus: 10 active players have hit over .300 for their careers but below Jeter's .315 mark. Can you name those 10?

    -Miguel Cabrera (.314)
    -Manny Ramirez (.313)
    -Magglio Ordonez (.312)
    -Hanley Ramirez (.311)
    -Robinson Cano (.309)
    -David Wright (.307)
    -Chipper Jones (.306)
    -Placido Polanco (.304)
    -A-Rod (.303)
    -Michael Young (.301)
