text: who would you draft if you were a gm?  and all players were available.? name your guy at every position factoring in age.  price is not a consideration.  all players currently playing are eligible.  just interested to see the picks. c:  joe mauer - victor martinez is a beast offensively, but he's terrible defensively.  mauer has the best batting average in mlb right now. 1b:  pujols - he's easily the #1 overall pick. 2b:  rickie weeks - he's 25, and he has amazing talent; he'll be in many all-star games by the time his career is done.  soriano is a terrible defensive 2b; utley would be next on this list if you're talking about a one-year thing. 3b:  wright - he barely gets the nod over a-rod b/c he's younger.  these guys would probably be the #2 and #3 overall picks. ss:  tejada - with michael young right behind him (young has the 2nd most hits behind ichiro over the last 4 years) lf:  miguel cabrera - he's batting .350 this year, and he's still in his mid-20s. cf:  vernon wells - he's only 27 and he's an mvp candidate this year.  jason bay is right behind him, with beltran in the mix as well. rf:  i'll go with vlad - he's a little older at 30, but he's great both offensively and defensively and it's a fairly weak position.  sp:  santana - he's far and away the best pitcher on the board, and he's just 27. sp:  roy halladay - only 29 years old, and he'll be a cy young contender this year. sp:  brandon webb - he came up at the same time as d-train, and right now he's becoming an ace pitcher. sp:  carlos zambrano - zambrano's been in the bigs for a while, but he's only 25.  he has nasty stuff as well. sp:  jered weaver - the 23-year-old showed some nasty stuff in his first few starts in the big leagues.  he'll be a cy young contender for years to come.  rp:  tough call due to the instability of the position.  i suppose you have to go with paplebon, but the sox want to make him into a starter eventually.  after paplebon, i'll go with bobby jenks.  i wouldn't take a closer early in a draft at all; closers can come out of nowhere (guys like paplebon this year and derrick turnbow last year).
