    All those guys will end up playing relatively the same amount as Felix. It doesn't matter if Felix gets to 40, he'll be way past his prime. I'm talking for the next 8 years or so I would take these guys.

    Re: Franchise player pole

    5 years of age doesn't make a difference when players are in their primes. Those guys above are either just entering or haven't hit their primes yet.

    As I said in the other thread, the attrition rate on pitchers is incredibly high. Taking a pitcher to start your team off would likely wind up burning you.

    Re: Franchise player pole

    That is why Pujols. I was just making a point that Felix shouldn't even be on the poll. If it be a pitcher, make it someone just as youthful, but better than Felix. I can't believe he got any votes. Oh well.

    Re: Franchise player pole

    It was unnecessary to include Felix in the poll.

    This is my favorite "pole" so far.

    Hanley Ramirez

    Amazing hitting/fielding shortstops are harder to find amazing hitting/fielding first basemen

    Re: Franchise player pole

    I don't think Hanley is an 'amazing' fielding shortstop

    More along the lines of "below average"
