C: Mauer
1B: Pujols
2B: Uggla ( I don't know why I think this )
3B: A-Rod ( Not a biased pick, just believe that this guy is amazing )
SS: Tulo ( I wanna pick Hanley, but I like Tulo just a little more. Ask people that I used to be in middle school with, I always had to argue who the best SS was out of A-Rod ; we made an exception because he used to play short ; Jose Reyes and Tulo/H2R for me )
LF: CarGo
CF: Hamilton
RF: Ichiro
DH: wanna say Big Papi, but I can't so I have to go with Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes ( Vladdy )

SP(RHP): Lincecum ( love this guy, no homo )
SP(LHP): CC ( lmao, biased pick. I will admit that. I think Cliff Lee gets way too much hype and when CC is on, He's on )
Setup Man: Possibly Rafael Soriano, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Closer: Sandman ( I know, but you can't dare to tell me this one is biased )

EDIT be grateful I didn't put Teix on there, because he's my favorite player lmao

Yep, Cliff Lee gets too much hype because he didn't sign with your favorite team. 100% guaranteed you would not be saying that if he signed with New York. Best lefty in Baseball, and best clutch pitcher.

Neftali Feliz is nowhere near being the best closer in the MLB, he wouldn't even make my top 5.

Vernon Wells is definitely not the best CF and Jose Bautista is in no way, shape, or form the best RF in the league. He's had one good season and he'll probably came back down to earth this season, and hard.

Rerally gmf? Honestly I could name a couple of players that are better than him. He doesnt get on base that much and he's not avery good opposite field hitter. He also lost some range in CF which is why Halos are most likely gonna move him the left. I like V-Dub and all but he isn't the best CF in the game.

Not sure why.

For a rookie, damn good stats. 40 saves, 2.73 ERA, 0.880 WHIP. I'll take a young arm like that any day of the week. I'm counting age a lot in this.

Vernon Wells I knew I was gonna take shit for that one as well as Bautista. I'm basing a lot of my choices on 2010 stats, and you can't argue Bautista was a beast this year. His OBP was even better than Ichiro's.

I liked Wells this year. He's a solid defender -- certainly not what he used to be, but I like him nonetheless. 31 Homers, SLG over .500, was 10th in the MLB in Doubles

I don't know about you, but I find it silly to factor age into this. If we're talking about the best at each position in 5 years you'd have a point, but I don't see the relevance in this instance.

I'd rather have Wilson, Mo, Soria, Heath Bell, Broxton (if he turns it around this year, Torre ridiculously overused him and it showed last season) and probably a few other guys over Feliz.

Closer isn't the spot you really want youth in, I'd rather have a veteran closing out games, especially if they have big game experience.

Well no I'm saying age because of older players more prone to decline in production.

I shoulda put Mo in the spot. I originally had him but for some odd reason I thought "Eh, I'll take a gamble on Feliz".

Idk, maybe its the cold medicine kicking in ;)

Longo and Zim are better than Wright.

Meh personally I would take Wright over Zimmerman, but Longoria is the best third baseman in the game in my opinion.
