    Speed: Rollins
    Arm: Guerrero (or maybe Hidalgo)
    Fielding: Rey Ordonez (feel sorry for the guy, so he wins a tie breaker)
    hitting: Jason Giambi, Cliff Floyd, Lance Berkman (Helton doesn't play nearly so well away from Coors).

    Out of curiosity, why do you rate Alou over Berkman? Berkman's power numbers are better and their averages are virtually identical (Berkman currently a few points higher).

    I guess I used age as afactor. Also, Alou hasn't played in as many games, thus his power #'s would be a bit closer. Over the last 3 years, I think Alou has been the best hitter in baseball.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Manny, I'd take Manny over Helton as the best hitter in baseball.

    The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
