Ichiro Suzuki or Johnny Damon?

Damon...sadly. I hope he dies for leaving the Redsox, but he did help them win the World Series and I think he is just better than Ichiro. Ichiro is just fast, nothing else. He has a poor arm and can't hit.

I'd have to go with A-Rod at the moment. His stats are similer to Pujos but A-rod plays a slightly more demanding defensive posisiton. A close second is Pujos. \n\nFor the season that's close. Pujos, Berkman, Swisher, Hafner and Thome are having really good years. Nobody is really just taking the year by storm yet. Several other players with a hot streak could be right up there with this group. \n\nJose Contraras on the other hand is having a monster year so far. 5-0 with a 1.41 ERA. Webb is next closest with 6-0 2.30 ERA. \n\nSo best player this season I'd hand it to Contraras so far.

I just had the same thing go down in my league.  I played them both, and I had the same thought, but why not play them.  They were both aces, so you hope that they have a pitchers duel, and both have 10 Ks and no ER.  You hope that at least one guy gets the win, but sometimes it could be a split if it's tied when they get taken out.  Just play them and hope for the best.

How can I pick just one? Big Papi would be the first to come to mind - along with Varitek. Wily Mo is my favorite new addition. I followed him in Cincinnati and I think he'll be a major contributor in the near future. Since he's been in the Sox lineup I think his plate discipline had improved dramatically.

jeff gordon or jimmie johnson

I would say Vlad. He has a championship, comparable stats, and gold gloves because he has a bazooka for an arm. Also, you can't pitch to Vlad because he can hit any pitch out of the ballpark, whether it is a strike or not.

By far its Jim Thome... when he is healthy watch out he will be the AL MVP... but Travis Hafner is not so far

Konerko or Derek Lee.  1B for 1B, with similar stats.  If you don't give a 1B, you will have too many.

Pujols without a doubt.  Thome is know to go into some major slumps.  Right now Pujols could be on his way to being one of the greatest PLAYERS ever.  His numbers are staggering for such a short career so far.  He is as intimadating as hell.  I saw him golf swing a pitch last week that still hasn't landed yet.  The pitch was at his ankles and he made it look effortless.  If he stays healthy on this pace, he has a chance someday to break almost every offensive category (HR/Season, HR/Career, RBI, Average).

I would choose francisco liriano... because hes a lefty who throws mid 90s and hes only 22 and i would say david wright... he has one of the best swings in baseball and hes a good defensive player... the cubs need a solid third baseman and a pitcher who can actually pitch in 30 games rather be hurt for 100...\nBTW im not a cubs... but i do like derrick lee... sacramento boy and im from sacramento...

For HOF, Jr. might get more votes.  For fantasy now, Sheffield is hotter because he is at a better team and not injury prone.

Geronimo was the best defensively. Eric Davis was pretty good with the glove but was more dangerous with the bat. Griffey Jr. has both a good glove and bat but  can't seem to stay healthy. All in all I would go with Geronimo.

Pujols. He's just going to keep getting better (which is unfortunate since I'm a Cubs fan).

Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners.  He seems to add excitement into the game in every instance he is involved whether it be hitting, running or fielding.

Podsednik, Ichiro, Damon, Crawford, Pierre.\n\nIn that order.  Podsednik first because he has the highest on base percentage (at least last year) and perhaps the best purest speed.  He Ichiro and Damon all had similar on base percentage last year, which is by far the most important factor in sleecting a lead off man, and both Damon and Ichiro would seem to be on the decline.

They are both great pitchers, but Johnson is getting old. His age is showing. He seems to have lost command of his slider, which was one of the worst pitches a right handed batter could face during his heyday. Pedro, if he is pampered is an amazing pitcher, maybe the best or one of the best pitchers in baseball. If he is used improperly, then he will wear down and stink up the town. If I had a choice, I would probably take Pedro right now.

Yankees because Steinbrenner is always going to be willing to outspend EVERYBODY. \n\nbtw I'm a Cardinals fan so I dont care who is better.  :)
