    Favorite team: Twins

    Three players I would have: Felix Hernandez, Clayton Kershaw, and Troy Tulowitzki.

    They need starting pitching badly. They had the worst starting pitching ERA(5.40) in the American League.The starting 3 would probably be Kershaw, King Felix, Diamond. Diamond is a bit of an ace, and he can pitch well. That starting 3 will be tough to beat. The adding Deduno who has looked sharp near the end of the season and a young pitching prospect named Kyle Gibson. This would truly be a great rotation.

    The Twins have had quite a few different shortstops over the years. Cabrera(Orlando) '09, JJ Hardy in 2010, Nishioka in 2011, and Dozier in 2012.They wouldn't have to worry about getting another shortstop and he would be a major offensive boost and a major defensive boost. A lineup consisted of Revere, Mauer, Tulo, Willingham, Morneau, Doumit, and Plouffe would be a much improved offense.

    BQ: Yes, but the problem is the Twins are filled with outfield spots. They have Span in center, Ben Revere in right, and Willingham in left. They would have to trade Span and move Revere to center and Ichiro would go in right where he's won 10 gold gloves. Though, it probably won't happen because Ichiro would probably want to go on a contender.

    The Marlins need a 3B in the worst way, and some OF help would not go amiss. Their 2012 offense was sorely lacking. So:

    Mike Moustakas

    Mike Trout

    Andrew McCutchen

    Could you imagine an OF with Giancarlo Stanton, McCutchen and Trout?

    BQ: Yes, he still has some life in the bat (.322 with the Yankees) and he has speed and range that plays into the Marlins' playing style and home park.

    Yes, I think that the Yankees will re-sign him.

  • .Miguel Cabrera Best hitter in baseball right now why not.

    .Justin Verlander Do I really have to say anything.

    .Craig Kimbrel Our bulpen would be even better.

    BQ: No I would not like for my Cardinals to go after Ichiro, don't get me wrong I would love to have him play for us he is still a great hitter, but there is really no space for him in our outfield right now we got a couple of good guys out there. I really do believe the Yankees would bring him back I think it would be a dumb move to let him walk away. Still has an arm could run* and play defense oh yeah and that other thing he does with his bat hit.

    Felix Hernandez

    Mike Trout

    Justin Upton

    Felix to me is in the top 3 pitchers in baseball. He is still so young and a great pitcher to build a dynasty around. Mike Trout is already the best player in the AL. In a few years he'll be the best in baseball. I know Upton didn't live up to last years hype but he still has so much potential. The potential to be one of the greatest ever. He is only 25 so I will get him during his prime. He had a thumb injury nearly all year so that can contribute to the lower numbers. He'll be in the top 3 of the MVP voting for next year.

    Mike Trout

    Giancarlo Stanton

    Carlos Ruiz

    BQ: Move Prado to 3b, Heyward to LF, and Ichiro can play RF... okay... I can deal with that in ATL next year. I say Yanks try to re-sign Ichiro and let Swisher test free agency tho.

    Miguel Cabrera

    Justin Verlander

    Yadier Molina

    Im a tigers fan so i got my two top players already but i was also a catcher and i love the way molina plays he is the best defensive catcher in my mind and his arm is one of the best in the league

    BQ: Like i said im a tigers fan and were already running 5 guys through the outfield so no.

  • 9 years ago

    Justin V.

    Jason Motte

    Mike Trout

  • 9 years ago

    Im a Yankee fan, and their pitching is terrible, so i will go with Verlander, Johan Santana, and i guess David Wright.
