LF-Barry Bonds
CF-Ken Griffey Jr

[First Ice-Mike]

If I was going to build a team right now here's how it would go......

C - Joe Mauer
1B - Jim Thome
2B - Jose Vidro
SS - Derek Jeter
3B - A-Rod
LF - Albert Pujols
CF - Carlos Beltran
RF - Vlad
Starting Rotation - Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, Mark Mulder, Mark Prior, and Pedro

Closer - Gagne

Then I'd DH Bonds if they'd let me!!

I really like Mora at the hot corner. Excellent pick.

Now for Dougie Ballgame as a reserve
Won't go there.

My outfield decision of Sosa over Ramirez may have been in error. Still not sure who I'd rather have THIS YEAR.

My weakest pick was Tejada at SS. But it's my team. Say his name five times out loud and he grows on ya. You have to say his name out loud though.

Geeze, I have Mora twice!!

I'll put Lewwwwww...down as a reserve...Sorry, I'm such a homer...lol

[big_fish_guy]

arod, arod, arod.. mora...
give me blalock anyday.

[Jarrod32]

Here's mine, with an eye to having good defense at each position as well as stud hitters...

C...I-Rod
1B...Pujols
2B...Soriano
SS...A-Rod (he's more valuable at SS)
3B...Rolen
LF...Bonds
CF...Beltran
RF...Vlad Guerrero

Bench...Blalock, Ichiro, Sosa, Michael Young, and Piazza (I have every position backed up...Young at 2B/SS, Blalock at 1B/3B), Piazza at C, and two outfielders)

Starting Rotation: Pedro, Randy Johnson, Roy Halladay, Jason Schmidt, and Curt Schilling...as Randy and Curt are getting up in age, get ready to replace them with Javier Vazquez and Mark Mulder (with Prior and Wood not far behind).

Closer...gotta go with Gagne, with honorable mentions to Smoltz and Rivera. Those guys can all dominate the last inning (or two).

A lot of good players left off the list...
