Yeah, but If I was starting a franchise I'd probably start with a guy who wont be dead by the teams 5th anniversary.

 

 

Anyway, Here's my five:

 

Alex Rodriguez

Albert Pujols

Joe Mauer

Johan Santana

Carlos Zambrano

 

 

I know Peavy is probably a better choice than Z, but Z is still a stud, and you can never have enough offense out of the 9 spot :-)

[UMFan83]

Neifi Perez

Jose Macais

Darren Baker

Neifi Perez

Anyone who doesn't clog the bases.

[MidoreX]

Jose Reyes

Grady Sizemore

Albert Pujols

Johan Santana

Francisco Liriano (provided everything looks good with his rehab)

[Evers2Tinker2Chance]

Johan Santana

Jake Peavy

Dan Haren

Verlander

Jose Reyes

 

Tough to beat a rotation like that

[Marco4]

I decided against that risk on Liriano - if I was building a team, I'd want them for now.

It is a risk, but IMO if he's healthy he is the most unhittable pitcher in the majors.

Obviously the goal would be to win a championship in the first couple of years.

[UBlink]

Julio Franco

Clemens

Maddux

Moyer

Sammy

 

I know, Sammy's a little inexperienced for this team...

Well, yes, but my point is there are pitchers who can put up similar numbers and have many many more years left in their careers. Why not be better, longer?

 

That being said, there's nothing wrong with a guy who's going to put up a 2 point ERA no matter how old he is.

[Mizzou]

Pujols

ARod

Mauer

Santana

Cabrera

[Marco4]

Wait a minute... If I selected 5 Brewers, the Cubs would have a shot at the division.

[Anomalied]

1. Pujols

2. Reyes

3. Sizemore

4. Cabrera

5. Santana

[Balsa]

Agreed. Also, Liriano's mechanics are godawful.

[TruffleShuffle]

Pujols

Cabrera

Santana

Hanley Ramirez

Eric Patterson

[mul21]

Edmonds

Eckstein

Theriot

Erstad

Borowski

 

 

 

 

 

OK, seriously...

 

Sizemore

Utley

Reyes

Peavy

Oswalt

 

I'll take guys who are way above average at positions that are tough to fill at their productivity level.

[cubsfan5150]

I would take the top five starting pitchers in the game... off the top of my head:

 

Johan Santana

Roy Oswalt

Zambrano

Halliday

Sabathia or Verlander

in 2-3 years youd be sinking 90 mil+ per year into your starting rotation.

The rules of this game required that contracts were out of the question though, right?
