Pujols

I took age and consistant production into account somewhat.

god forbid a hypothetical team doesn't have Lincecum

Crappy hypothetical team.

Would Lincecum be on your "hypothetical" team?

[Johan Santana 57]

My team would be

Halladay
Johan
CC
Felix
Pujols
Longoria
Mauer
Teixiera
Kemp
Braun

It says 10 players you would want, not saying the 10 best players possible.

If Miggy gets no love on here for having a drink once, then I say Lincecum is a distraction for having pot that one time.

Anyone making a hypothetical franchise who doesn't pick 5 top starting pitchers is a bad owner.

I still maintain that Lincecum will have arm-trouble in the next 1-3 years.

I don't care if it's a complete fluke or a dusty baker special, but I just get da feelin'

I want my pitchers built like brick-shat-houses with picture perfect deliveries.

With that said, the baby faced king is da pick.

I find it funny that you peg Lincecum for arm trouble when his greatest attribute is how his delivery incorporates his entire body, thus reducing the risk on him to a minimum.
