Interesting question
On Mike and Mike in the Morning today, Mike Greenberg brought up an interesting question. He was talking with Buster Olney about the value of pitchers vs. position players. Here's the question: If you emptied all MLB rosters and held an open draft (salaries don't matter, for the sake of discussion), what would the list of top 10 players chosen look like--assuming all teams' goals are to win the World Series this year?

If salaries made no difference, I'd imagine it would look like this (in no particular order):
Pujols
Vlad
Manny
Cabrera
Santana
Carpenter
A-Rod
Halladay
Peavy
Beltran
Basically, what the first 10 picks in your fantasy draft would look like if defense were taken into consideration too, and steals weren't as important.
NOTE: My list may be a bit NL heavy.

I agree with that list Popeye, but I would drop Peavy and add Oswalt.Popeye_Card wrote:If salaries made no difference, I'd imagine it would look like this (in no particular order):
