Building a Team

Re: Building a Team

Just curious, but for those that have chosen a pitcher as the 1 player they'd build a team around, why?

There are some great young arms out there, but a starting pitcher only pitches once out of every 5 games. So that means that pitcher only plays in approximately 35 games a year out of 162 possible for a position player.

Anyhow, just wondering.

Chicks dig the strikeout

Albert Pujols and Bobby Cox.

Re: Building a Team

For the player: Albert Pujols - Best hitter in the game. Defense is average BUT adequet.

For the manager: Ozzie Gullien - Could have picked another manager, probably even a better manager BUT Ozzie is young in terms of being a manager. He's the youngest manager since Tom Kelly in 87 to win a World Series.

Pujols. Best pure hitter in baseball.

Re: Building a Team

Pujols is the obvious choice, but you have to give some consideration to David Wright and Miguel Cabrera as well.

For pitchers, obviously King Felix Hernandez and Johan Santana. Some of the lesser known filthy arms would include Justin Verlander, Francisco Liriano (when he's not DUI'ing), Joel Zumaya, Chad Billingsley, and Jon Lester.

Miguel Cabrera
Manager: Call me crazy, but I like Ozzie.

Re: Building a Team

Pitcher: Jake Peavy, without a doubt. 24 yrs old, and filthy.

Hitter: Albert Pujols, simply the best hitter in the game now.

Manager: Bobby Cox.. Playoff team every year but one since 1991.

Re: Building a Team

Pujols.

For manager, I'd have to pick Bobby Cox.

We Braves fans tend to think alike...

Re: Building a Team

Johan Santana easily. I'd rather have an ace then a great hitter. He's only 27 yrs old and just beginning his domination.

Manager? Anyone but Dusty!

Good calls on David Wright and Cabrera.

Good names pitching, but how could you talk about filthy young pitchers and not even name Jake Peavy? He's 24 and as filthy as anyone in baseball.
