I've seen some throwdowns that are about who you'd take to start a team.  So I've decided to build myself a team.  Part youth, part experience.  Try to win now and for the future.  Here is what my team would look like.

 1B   Albert Pujols

2B   Chase Utley

SS   Jose Reyes

3B   Alex Rodriguez

C   Joe Mauer

LF   Matt Holliday

CF   Ichiro Suzuki

RF   Vladimir Guerrero

SP   Johan Santana

SP   Jake Peavy

SP   John Smoltz

SP   Justin Verlander

SP   Josh Beckett

RP   Joel Zumaya

RP   Scot Shields

CP   Jon Papelbon

If I'm an AL Team I guess I'm taking Big Papi as my DH though I feel dirty doing that. Wow, one Yankee and 3 Red Sox on my team. At least I'm not biased.

I'm surprised with no Jeter. I think that would be a great team, nonetheless. Good job MK.

No Sizemore?

Where is Sal Fasano?
What the hell is wrong with you?
AND HOW ABOUT SIDNEY PONSON?!?!?!?!

I thought about Sizemore and went with Suzuki instead. Like I said I'd grab some veterans who I think have some years left in them.

I feel dirty for this comment, but I'd switch the NY portions of the left side of your infield. Jeter's a proven winner and A-Rod's a fraud. You put Wright next to Jeter to learn the intangibles of winning and you have yourself a long-term franchise player. And just to make up for what you lose with Reyes with regards to speed and leadoff, Suzuki's okay, but I'd really go with Sizemore there...A lineup that looks like this would be obscene;

Sizemore, Jeter, Pujols, Vlad, Wright, Holliday, Utley, Mauer.

Starting pitching wise, I think you went with the wrong Tiger, but that's an extremeky debateable point, I just like Bonderman a bit more. And I'd take Dan Haren over Beckett 100 times out of 100. I know Beckett has that one playoff run where he dominated the Yanks, but the injury issues would push me towards Haren.
