Well if I am going with an all-time team I would go with 4 starters and a closer.\nSP-Pedro Martines- For all who dont know he has the best adjusted ERA+ of any pitcher ever, and his peak were some of the best seasons any pitcher has ever recorded\n\nSP-Walter Johnson- Ninth on the all-time strikeout list and owner of a 2.17 career ERA. \n\nSP-Randy Johnson-Very few lefties have dominated as much as Johnson has. Him and Walter would also lead to a bunch of funny Johnson and Johnson references\n\nSP-Roger Clemens-Obviously I concentrated on very high strikeout pitchers who could dominate a game and that is what Clemens did\n\nCL-Mariano Rivera-Best closer ever\n\nIf I could have all these guys in there prime pitching in a four man rotation, like they used to back in the day, I could easily win 120 games.

Albert Pujols, the best hitter in MLB
1089440
The best batter in the world today is hands down barry bonds. For all of you that think hes a steriod junky,  you have to realize EVERYBODY in baseball used to take steroids befor this scandal\nbarry bonds is the one getting the the most for it because hes breaking so many records. He has the best hand eye coordination in the game wich is one of the many reasons hes the most intentionally walked player in baseball history. The best short stop is Omar Visquel (10 gold gloves). Of course this is my own personal opinion .

Albert Pujols......the best no doubt

In the National League, it's Pujols without a doubt.\nIn the American League, and being a Yankee fan I hate to say this, I gotta go with Manny Ramirez.\n\nThey are both lights-out hitters, who continually make even the best pitchers pay dearly for the slightest mistake.

C - Josh Gibson; can't forget about the Negro Leagues; Bench is definitely one to consider though\n\n1B - Lou Gehrig; in about 20 years, I may be putting Pujols here\n\n2B - Rogers Hornsby; consideration given to Nap Lajoie and Rod Carew\n\nSS - Honus Wagner; Ozzie Smith was the best defensive SS, and Ernie Banks was the best offensive SS, but Wagner is the best all around; probably the toughest position to pick\n\n3B - Mike Schmidt; Brooks Robinson was better defensively, but Schmidt was significantly better at the plate, which is why he gets the nod\n\nLF - Stan Musial; I know a lot of people are wondering about Williams here, but Musial had nearly 1000 more career hits, was a 24 time All Star and a 3 time MVP, not to mention the four World Series that he played in.  And he played in roughly the same time frame ('41-'63) as Williams ('39-'60), who was a 17 time All Star and won 1 MVP while playing in just one World Series.\n\nCF - Willie Mays; with some big considerations to Mantle, Cobb, and Oscar Charleston\n\nRF - Babe Ruth; all apologizes to Aaron (with his career HR and RBI records) and Clemente (with his 12 Gold Gloves), but it was Ruth's lifetime .342 average that really got me leaning this way...oh yeah, and he hit for quite a bit of power.\n\nSP - Walter Johnson; with a large amount of consideration given to Young, Spahn, Mathewson, Bob Gibson, Satchel Paige and Koufax, but it was Johnson's W's, K's, shut-outs (110) and lifetime 2.35 ERA that set him apart from the pack.\n\nRP - Eckersley; revolutionized the closer position, after spending 12 years as a starter\n\nPH - Lenny Harris, has more pinch hits than anybody else in the history of the game, and a .263 career average as a pinch hitter (not bad considering he has 800+ career PH AB's)\n\nHonorable Mention - Looking over the list of players that I didn't include, it's difficult to pick just one.  However, I'd have to go with Ted Williams for the Honorable Mention.  If he played just about any other position, he would have been my first choice.

I picked up Zimmerman when Pujols went on the DL. He's very consistent and with Soriano ahead of him, he gets plenty of chances at knocking him in.....Over long term course of the season, he's the better choice, imo.

Willie Mays is the best Choice. Sure Barry Bonds has incredible numbers but he also creates distrations on and off the field. Willie Mays made the people around him better. Bonds does not. Hank Aaron was more of an Iron man he never hit over 50 homeruns he was just consistant.

All time is Mickey Mantle. He could do it all batting left or right handed. Today it has to be Albert Pujols.

I think Jose Reyes has the best chance.  He's young and his legs are fresh plus he'll have many chances to do it with his young age.  My darkhorse pick would have to be Chone Figgins.

Derek Jeter is the All-Time Greatest Shortstop to even play in the MLB. Although Jeter doesn't have the most speed, or the most power, or the best defense, or even the best all-around abilities, he has one advantage few have. He is a winner. Derek Jeter also gives 200% every time out on the field. Jeter would rather leave the field in pieces than to know he didn't give it all he's got. Winning the Rookie of the Year in 1996, Jeter got off to a fast start. Since then, he's earned himself 6 All-Star appearances, 4 World Series victories, the nickname of Mr. November, for his outstanding play in the 2001 World Series, and the title of Yankee captain. And not only is he good on the field, he is also good off of it. Jeter started the Turn 2 Foundation, a charity organization, in 1996.

I feel that by far the best utility guy in the MLB is Chone Figgins of the Angels. He combines great speed with a consistent glove and a solid bat. Another good utility is Ryan Freelof the Reds. He has excellent speed, but doesn't have as good of a bat as Figgins. Also, there are Bill Hall of the Brewers and Brandon Inge of the Tigers, if you want to count him. Brandon Inge has been playing 3rd base very consistently of recent, but in addition he has played outfield, shortstop, and catcher in his professional baseball career.

Hit, hit with power, run, field and throw. The basics, yet few players fit this mold. Today, it would have to include Vlad Guerrero and Alex Rodriguez, although A-Rod isn't asked to throw a lot. The best ever five-tool player? Mays and Aaron, without question followed by Clemente.

Pujols gets pitches to hit because he has Rolen and Edmonds protecting him in the lineup. Managers know that if they put Pujols on base, one of those two guys will likely punish them.\n\nPujols is the best hitter...but best defensive player? Give me a break. 1B is one of the least important defensive positions. He's great at 1B, but he's not as important to his team's defense as Andruw Jones or Orlando Hudson.
