Johnny Damon (after Alex Rodriguez and Hideki Matsui).  All Yankees, of course!  Of course, I could be a little bias.....   ;)

I'm a Cardinals fan and they are pretty stacked already. I think I would have to go with Johan Santana to help the starting pitching be a little more consistent. If I had to take a position player I would take Jose Vidro because the Cardinals could really use a good second baseman. I think the last good second baseman they had was Rogers Hornsby.

In no particular order!\n\n1.Jose Reyes is the best SS in the game right now\n2 Albert Pujols - the best player in the game right now\n3. Johann Santana - by far the best pitcher in baseball\n4. Ryan Howard - crazy strong and talented hitter\n5. Alex Rodriguez - had incredible numbers in his OFF year\n6. David Ortiz - even though he doesnt play the field he is one of the best today\n7. Carlos Beltran - The best CF in the game in my opinion\n8. Derek Jeter - a proven winner and the likely 2006 AL MVP\n9. Joe Mauer - the best catcher in baseball\n10. Vladimir Guerrero - great hitter, and one helluva arm\n\nhonorable mentions: Chris Carpenter, Roy Halliday Travis Hafner, and Justin Morneau

Alex Rodriguez IS THE BEST

Most definitely.  My question is why he is not the leading vote getter for catchers.  It seems insane that Jason Varitek is the leader so far.  He is a below average catcher on a popular team.  I suppose it is similar to Yao Ming being the starting center for the next 20 all-star games regardless of his actual performance.

TRUE SLEEPERS? EVERYONE knows about King Felix, Duke, Cain and Liriano as they are probably already taken. Go with the guy Liriano's competing with for the 5th spot; Scott Baker, the Marlins Scott Olsen; yes definitely Anthony Reyes of the Redbirds. Justin Verlander of the Tigers is a future ace. Edwin Jackson of the Devil Rays and Dewon Brazeleton of the Padres have fallen off the radar, but worth keeping your eye on as these guys are free agents in your league!

1st best is J.J Reddick. An obvious answer. He averages 9.2 3 pt. attempts per game and hits %42.4.\n\n2nd best is Allen Ray. 9.1 attempts, and completes %38.2.\n\nGerry McNamera is good, but I have seen many games with him in a slump. Plus, he takes too many 3's, lowering his %.

lopez (2nd/ss) for the reds\nholliday (of) of the rockies, blake (3rd/of) of the indians, willingham (of/c) of the marlins, or swisher (1st/of) of the athletics

Albert Pujols, the best hitter in MLB

1. Pujols\nBest 1b of all time-btw-hit more HR in first 4 seasons than Ruth, Maris\n2. Gurrero\nBest All-around player in the game, deserved the MVP 2 years ago\n3. A. Rodriguez\nHandled the transition from SS to 3b smoothly, and is still one of the best hitters\n4. Hafner\nBig DH for the Indians is one of the early picks for MVP in the AL: hits for power and avg.\n5. Big Papi\nCarried the Red Sox to a title in '04, is an icon of the MLB and is the consummate DH

Both Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramierez from Florida are putting up excellent numbers.  From a pure statistical standpoint, I would put Uggla slightly ahead of Fielder, and Ramirez slightly behind Fielder.  But it is very close in my opinion.

Alex Rodriguez\n\n3rd baseman since the 2004 season.\n\ntraded from the Texas Rangers in 2004 for Alfonso Soriano.\n\nHas over 400 career homers.

4th is most balanced without question, really strong\n3rd is most explosive with LT, who is really all you need

Mike Schmidt of the PHILLIES, one of the best (if not the best) third baseman's to play the game. As a kid I used to watch him crank out homers at Veterans Stadium. Michael Jack Schmidt was THE MAN.
