Here's an intering question for us baseball guys

[klvrdude]

Well......

Who did you pick?

[brewcrew4you]

His point about the Cubs isn't that bad - IIIIFFFF Prior gets healthy.

[teddy ballgame]

Definately Toronto...Wells, Glaus, Rios, Halladay, and Ryan. That's a nice group.

2nd would be the Cards...Pujols, Rolen, Edmonds, Carpenter, and Izzy.

[wrveres]

Pujols
Carpenter

Reyes
Izzy
Rolen ..

and its not even close .. IMO

[Gold Rush]

I'd probably go with one of the teams that were already mentioned, but here's one that wasn't mentioned...Arizona Diamondbacks

Brandon Webb
Stephen Drew
Carlos Quentin
Chad Tracy
Conor Jackson

Just a suggestion because of the ace SP, and the very promising young talent

[davidmarver]

Padres.

Hoffman, Peavy, A. Gonzalez...and...uhh...Dave Winfield and Tony Gwynn.

In the end, my answer would be based on a couple of factors. Is this a dynasty keeper (i.e. keep forever)? If so, players like Wright and Reyes from the Mets are going to be studs for 10+ years.

Second, do you keep the players if they leave that team? If not, then teams like the DRays need to be avoided.

Anyway, presuming a dynasty, I'd go with the Angels, Mets (Wright, Reyes, Beltran, Milledge, Pelfrey) or DBacks (Quentin, Drew, Webb, C. Jackson, Upton).

Basically, I'd want 5 players I was going to get at least 5 good years from, all of whom could be argued to be 1st-3rd round picks for at least a portion of those 5+ years. That requirement eliminates teams like the Dodgers (loads of good young talent, but not much elite level) and Cards (not enough top-tier fantasy talent).
