Honestly, I have to go with Hanley. He's so far above the other SS's and seems to keep improving. Pujols and Mauer would be in a tight fight for number 2.

Ever seen a team with Pujols not in contention? I saw a team win 90 games with Pujols where the second best hitter on the team was Scott Rolen.

I'll say Hanley because of the SB's. I like some speed on my teams, usually.

Great catchers hard to find; almost as good a hitter as Pujols at a much tougher position

Didn't one of the GMs in this league say that "offense is overrated when it comes down to the DMB pitching reins supreme". Id rather have a 20 game winner who has a un-human K rate than Pujols and Han Ram anyday.

I chose Lincecum. The only thing that would make me go a different direction is the crazy ammount of torque that he puts on his body pitching. Every time i watch him i fear for his future health. But hes and absolute stud.

I chose Mauer simply because having him puts you so far out in front of every other team compared to whoever they are running out at catcher.

I can't see taking a pitcher. I just can't. One wrong throw and they're never the same. Positionally, Ramirez and Pujols are great but its hard to get around everything that Mauer brings on the field. Dude's only 26 too.

Mauer is one of my favorite young players, but the tipping point for me is durability. Over the last 9 years Pujols has played an average of 155 games while Mauer has averaged 130 games. Catchers generally don't get more durable as they age. An additional month of GP per season of Albert puts me in his camp.

I find Catcher to be one of the flukiest performers in dmb, coupled with the fact that it is the only position that gets tired and I would rather have Pujols. I also would take the hitter, because the second flukiest performer is pitching.
