Give me your top five guys you would take. You can pick any current MLB player or minor leaguer.

We are having a discussion at work, and I can't believe who someone said is their #1 guy.

Trout
Strasburg
Harper
Miguel Cabrera
Kershaw
among others.

Before players.. I'd hire the right GM and institute the organizational philosophy I wanted. The assumption being, whith the right foundation in place.. the org. would find and develop the right pieces..

If Matt Harvey keeps it up for a full season+.. I'd consider him to.

Pitchers break all the time... but the guys I mentioned have proven to be dominant and durable.

Right now there are 2 guys I'd start an MLB franchise, and both of them are pitchers. The Tigers' Justin Verlander is one of them. The other is the Yankees' C.C. Sabathia.

You got a fifth for me TP?

And since I got some legit responses, the guy at work was arguing Posey would go first. I said no way.

Posey is very valuable right now, but I wouldn't select a catcher. He's eventually a first baseman. I'd rather have roughly twenty other players, and have a potential career catcher like Salvador Perez. I'm not saying he's anywhere close to my top-5, but I would assume your premise doesn't involve fielding a team of five.

As for Trout, I really think he's an obvious PED case. His head and neck have grown. Could my other five guys be on PED's? Sure. But I think he's getting caught in the next three years.

I agree, catchers are very valuable... but developing a franchise one has more to do with the teaching philosophies of the org.

Not one Chris Sale vote? Don't tell me he has durability issues when you put Strasburg on the list.

Anyway:

Verlander
Sale
Harper
Trout
Gillaspie

Here's why I said no regarding Chris Sale & Stephen Strasburg. I fear both of those pitchers might have shoulder issues at a very early stage in their careers and they might not hold up over the long term.

Yet, SHARK, you took 32 year old CC Sabathia who has been on the DL more times than Sale and Strasburg combined.

I didn't know C.C. spent that much time on the DL. Sale still looks kinda skinny, while I've heard Strasburg has had a "Y" issue with his shoulder.

Keeping Score has a Y chromosome problem.
