RaptorQuiz Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 If you were to build a "dream team" that included only younger players, who would be on it? Just for the sake of setting a limit, let's say 27 is as old as they can be and still be considered "young." Here is my dream team: 1B - Albert Pujols, Cardinals (26yrs old) 2B - Luis A. Gonzalez, Rockies (25yrs old) 3B - Miguel Cabrera, Marlins (22yrs old) SS - Rafael Furcal, Dodgers (26yrs old) LF - Carl Crawford, Devil Rays (23yrs old) CF - Rocco Baldelli, Devil Rays (23yrs old) RF - Wily Mo Pena, Reds (23yrs old) C - Victor Martinez, Indians (26yrs old) OR Yadier Molina, Cardinals (23yrs old) And as for some starting pitchers: SP - Carlos Zambrano, Cubs (24yrs old); Barry Zito, Athletics (27yrs old), and Dontrelle Willis, Marlins (25yrs old). I just thought it'd be interesting to discuss this idea. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I would put Robinson Cano (23 years old, Yankees) at second and Yadier Molina (i think 21 years old, Cardinals) as catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Definately Pujols, Cabrera, and Willis. I would put Jeremy Hermida in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my 23 and younger team: C: Russell Martin (LAD) 1B: Daric Barton (Oak) 2B: Howie Kendrick (LAA) 3B: Miguel Cabrera (Fla)/Andy LaRoche (LAD) SS: Steven Drew (Ari) OF: Carlos Quentin (Ari) OF: Lastings Milledge (NYM) OF: Javier Herrera (Oak) P: Cole Hamels (Phi), Craig Hansen (Bos), Gio Gonzalez (Phi), Yusmeiro Petit (Fla), Anibal Sanchez (Fla) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Oooh, this should be fun. Here's my 23 and younger team: 1B: Daric Barton (Oak) Very good call. I think the Cardinals might soon wish they hadn't traded him away. Altho... I'm pretty happy having Mulder here. As long as we can lock him up to a longer contract before we lose him to free agency.

kgbaseball Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I think the Cards are plenty happy with Albert Pujols manning first base The Cards got the better end of that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sully04 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Joe Mauer could be a great pick at C, 22 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Just turned 23, but yeah, I actually had Mauer before I switched to Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Starting pitchers : Erik Bedard , Daniel Cabrera , and Brad Halsey , plus Willis. Bedard and Cabrera both have excellent potential , and Halsey has a 1-1 record and 2-ish ERA now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 C - Victor Martinez or Joe Mauer, take your pick 1B - Albert Pujols 2B - Chase Utley? (He's 27, I think) 3B - David Wright SS - Jose Reyes OF - Carl Crawford OF - Nick Swisher OF - Miguel Cabrera SP - Johan Santana SP - Rich Harden SP - Jake Peavy SP - Carlos Zambrano SP - Dontrelle Willis RP - Francisco Rodriguez RP - Chris Ray RP - Jonathan Papelbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I like your list Filthy, even though I'd switch Swisher with Sizemore (let Swisher DH) who would've imagined 3 years ago that nobody mentioned Prior? ... hopefully he can still turn it around. Kazmir for 6th starter!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 I think the Cards are plenty happy with Albert Pujols manning first base The Cards got the better end of that deal. He started as a catching prospect. Besides - we could fit him in some place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I was just thinking about this -- I know there's a logjam at 3rd and 1st, but how about Mark Teixeira and Hank Blalock? these guys are pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are both good... but I don't know if they could unseat Miguel Cabrera and Pujols. Of course... Cabrera can play the OF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
