8. Rickey Henderson: 1979-2003
9. Miguel Cabrera: 2003 - present
So, Miguel Cabrera is the 9th and current man.

I think you could get to someone who started much more recently than Cabrera if you did 6. Early Wynn 1939-1963 and 7. Tommy John 1963-1989. Not sure who 8 would be but surely someone who lasted beyond 2003. Griffey maybe.
