Who would be on your "27 Years-Old & Under Dream Team?"


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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!!!!

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.

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...
