Best Hypothetical Team w/ Current Players

[HoustonGM]

i don't see how k-rod or reyes are deservant....if he is going to make up a shot at jaker like he did.

K-Rod is arguably a top 5 reliever, and Reyes is the 2nd best shortstop in the game, and only Rollins has an argument.

[Jeffy25]

I want to see yours.

C-McCann
1B-Albert (like you should be surprised I would pick him)
2B-Utley
3B-Wright
SS-Hanley
OF-Markakis
OF-Sizemore
OF-Ramirez (if he would simply play to his ability)

Bench
Backup Catcher - Mauer
Corner infielder - Youk
Middle infielder - Robinson Cano (I believe in him)
Outfielders - Beltran
Outfielders - Ichiro (Quentin or Ludwick if I could have an extra bench player)

Rotation
Santana
Billingsly
Lincecum
Halladay
Burnett
Webb
(there are soooo many I wish I could add)
Soria
Lidge
Rivera
Marmol

I was more or less annoyed that he makes that sort of comment toward Jaker, and then I see that he has like 5 Met players on his list...not that they don't all deserve some level of recognition, but it clearly wins over a player on another team's list just because they are Mets ball players....don't knock someone else's picks unprovoked

metsguy didn't knock on DarthJaker's picks. He changed Darth Jaker's picks in the quotes and knocked on the changed stupid picks. Darth Jaker invites it upon himself, though, by letting metsguy and RSR tell him stupid lies and believing them, and responding to metsguy's silliness with "dude ur a fu(king retard".

2B - Uggla
3B - A-Roid

Middle Infield - Reyes
Outfield - Dunn
Outfield - Quentin

Rotation
Grienke (hard to ignore)
Sabathia
Oswalt
Hamels
Kershaw
Harden
Haren

There are several other ball players I wish I could have added, like Soto, Soriano, Pedroia, Lowe, Crawford, Martinez, Roberts, Hudson, Ellsbury, Granderson, Longoria, etc etc etc

[RedsoxRockies]

I'm jacking off to Jeffy's picks.

This is an example of what Metsguy did, jeffy

[HoustonGM]

1B - Howard

Over Berkman, Teixeira, Cabrera, etc.?

OF-Ramirez (if he would simply play to his ability)

[bucher34]

25 Man Roster:

C: Brian McCann
1B: Albert Pujols
2B: Dustin Pedroia
3B: David Wright
SS: Hanley Ramirez
LF: Ryan Braun
CF: Grady Sizemore
RF: Ichiro Suzuki
1B/DH: Miguel Cabrera

Reserves:
C: Russell Martin
IF: Jose Reyes
IF: Kevin Youkilis
2B: Chase Utley
OF: Carlos Beltran
OF: Nick Markakis

SP: Johan Santana
SP: Tim Lincecum
SP: C.C. Sabathia
SP: Roy Halladay
SP: Jake Peavy

CL: Mariano Rivera
SU/CL: Jonathan Papelbon
RP: Brian Fuentes
RP: Francisco Rodriguez


Fuentes is the best left-handed reliever available IMO. I wouldn't have a lefty in my bullpen otherwise.

Ichiro gives me a true lead-off.

I'm trying to get the best mix of lefties and righties on this roster.

[Jeffy25]

Over Berkman, Teixeira, Cabrera, etc.?

Forgot about Berkman! crap! I really like him too. Cabrera I got on there, and yes, I think Howard has more value over Teixeira to this point....but I don't think it will stay that way. Cabrera....i am iffy on it...Howard over tex and cabby.....Berkman, I don't know, I kind of dropped the ball on him and forgot about him.

And on Ramirez, yes, I still believe he is one of the best in the game at hitting, pure and simple.

[RedsoxRockies]

Team based on my favorites:

C: Iannetta
1B: Youk
2B: Pedroia
3B: Chipper
SS:Tulowitzki
OF: Bay
OF:Ellsbury
OF: Hawpe
DH: Ortiz

SP: Halladay
SP: Lester
SP: Wakefield
SP: Ubaldo
SP: Snell

CL: Papelbon
SU: Matt Capps
SU: Okajima

[Jeffy25]

How about best team under 25 years old? can anyone do that? under 25, 25 year olds don't count

[RedsoxRockies]

And team based on my LEAST favorites:

C: Perzynski(Followed by Barrett)
1B: Mike Jacobs
2B: We may have to trade for one

OF: Alfonso Soriano
OF: Brain N Anderson
DH: Giambi

SP: Zambrano
SP: Petitte
SP: Buerhle

[Jeffy25]

I call shenanigans.

well you can hate on Bay, but he just made it a 3-0 game on a homer, and has a three hit night

Cabrera....i am iffy on it...Howard over tex and cabby.....Berkman, I don't know, I kind of dropped the ball on him and forgot about him.

How? Howard doesn't have an edge on any of them offensively, maybe roughly even, and he's the worst defender of the bunch. Cabrera's no good defensively either. Berkman and Tex are both excellent.

And on Ramirez, yes, I still believe he is one of the best in the game at hitting, pure and simple.

Yes, and he's performed as such, which was my point.

Bay is awesome.
