    If you were building a team...

    If the league was starting over and you had the first two picks in the draft, who would you take to build your franchise around? One hitter and one pitcher.

        I wouldn't take Strasburg personally, I don't think his arm will last long term. Very violent delivery. A lot of stress on his shoulder.

        I would take Felix Hernandez. He's only 2 year older than Strasburg, but is already established as not only an ace, but extremely durable ace. He's been throwing 230 innings each of the past 4 years and hasn't missed a start. I like his delivery and it doesn't look like he's the type of guy who will fall apart and have arm issues. Big game pitcher

        I would take Stanton as my hitter. What he did at 22 and in his 2nd full season was incredible, it took Mickey Mantle 5 seasons to show the type of power Stanton has shown since last season.



        Only reason I would pass on Trout is because he's only had that one big season. Want to see him do it again. I'm sure he will though.

              I like the way you think man, lol. Our posts had to be seconds apart, because yours wasn't there when I replied.

                      I think I might go in another direction rather than pitcher & hitter:
                      I'd want my 'Chise built around Hank & Hal, or at least their money lmao

                          Mike Trout and Felix Hernandez. I'm gonna hold out on Strausberg for right now. If he stays healthy next season, I might favor him over Felix.

                            If I could sign them now and have them seven years down the road?

                            Mike Trout and Yu Darvish.

                              Votto and Verlander...proven veterans still young enough to play.

                              Veteran leadership is extremely important to a young team and if I could get veteran leadership with unmatched work ethic, all while players that are at the top of their game, I couldn't pass that up.
