    Who's your all Decade Team for MLB?

    If you had to build your dream team from only the best players this decade who would be on your team? First some basic ground rules: 1. you can only have 25 total players on your team, how you decide to slice and dice your team after that is up to you, want 17 pitchers? fine. 2. The players have to played at least 3 seasons in this decade.
    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

    This looks pretty good to me, except that I'd take Ivan Rodriguez over Posada and maybe Pedro over Schilling.

    I decided to pick the top setup men of the decade and not a bullpen full of closers.
