I would go:

Pujols
Rollins
Sizemore
Soriano
Cabrera
and Peavy

[sigriffey]

Thanks ... I tend to agree.

Question: If I kept those 6 but could trade Soriano for CC Sabthia, should I do it or stand pat with those 6?

[rbranum]

i would keep crawford, soriano, sizemore, cabrera, peavy, and volquez...reason being..pujols is coming off of surgery, i look for him to have a below average season for him and that hurts because im a Cardinals fan..crawford should bounce back and have a big season as his numbers were low for him, soriano will only get better with an improved cubs offense, sizemore is only getting better, cabrera will have a monster year simply because he will be more comfortable starting the season this year in detroit, peavy is a no doubter, and volquez will only improve...

[Curtis Pride]

Sizemore
Miggy
Rollins
Pujols
Soriano
Peavy

And I would definitely trade Soriano (who is getting old and slowing down and therefore losing a lot of his value) for CC Sabathia.

I could possibly be talked into keeping Chris Davis or Billingsly or maybe even Crawford over Soriano

[sbabaganush]

I would go with;
rollins
pujols
sizemore
cabrera
soriano
granderson

could conceivably make a case for crawford instead of one of the outfielders, not sizemore. In addition, you may feel compelled to have at least one pitcher if so go with Billingsley.
