Toughest to leave off:
NL P Chris Young (SD)
AL OF Curtis Granderson (DET)

OK, baseball fans, now let's hear your picks and your near-misses!

[Charles Henrickson]

Ping.

[Always Right]

Where’s Todd Jones??? He can blow bigger leads than anyone.

[GOP_Raider]

Right now, Molina is the only Giant worthy of the distinction. I do have to agree with you though, Chris Young is a tough one to leave off.

[Clam Digger]

Geez, I wish I had free time for this kind of stuff.

P: DAN HAREN (OAK), Justin Verlander (DET), Josh Beckett (BOS), Johan Santana (MIN), C. C. Sabathia (CLE), John Lackey (LAA), Kelvim Escobar (LAA), Mark Buehrle (CHW), Gil Meche (KC); Francisco Rodriguez (LAA), J. J. Putz (SEA), Jonathan Papelbon (BOS), Scot Shields (LAA), Rafael Betancourt (CLE)

I'd put Hideki Okajima in before either Shields or Betancourt.

With the year Jojima is having, you’re leaving him off?

[GOP_Raider]

Oh yeah, what about Ryan Howard? I know he’s hitting a very pedestrian .250-ish and his slugging pct. is .550-ish, but I could see a few folk from the eastern half of Pennsylvania that might be a little annoyed you left him off. ;)

Nice to talk about.....but the All-Star game was ruined years ago...when they gave the vote to the "fans".

[Young Werther]

Mickey, Yogi, Phil and Elson!

Go Yankee Ever Stars!

I would never go with Soriano. He’s an overpaid primadonna. Lousy fielder and strikes out alot.

[FBD]

good picks. I’d say you got most of ‘em right

[Mr. Bird]

I think the NL SS position should cause the most debate. Reyes, Renteria, and Ramirez are all worthy, but I fear Reyes made it on his geography (NY) and stolen base total. As I am not a homer for any of them, I would probably pick Ramirez on stats alone, Renteria second, and Reyes third.

But I'm also probably a little biased against Reyes, as a Met. In a different way, Rey Ordonez was sainted by the NY media as the human highlight film. He ended up with fairly pedestrian fielding stats. I promise to come around on Reyes if he keeps up his pace through the year, but his caught stealing percentage is troublesome, and SB's are his claim to superiority.
