Ultimate MLB team of current players?

Question

Pick 5 man starting rotation, one Reliever, one closer, and one player from each position, including DH(from AL).

Here's mine:

SP: Brandon Webb-Cliff Lee-Edinson Volquez-Carlos Zambrano-Roy Halladay

Reliever: Carlos Marmol

CL: Francisco Rodriguez

C: Joe Mauer

1B: lance Berkman

2B: Ian Kinsler

3B: David Wright

SS: Jose Reyes

LF: Matt Holliday

CF: Josh Hamilton

RF: J.D. Drew

DH: David Ortiz

Answer 1

Since every player on this team is going to be good offensively, I would opt for players that are

a) Good teammates, professional etc

b) Defensively superior

c) Average and speed over power

C: Russell Martin

1B: Mark Texiera

2B: Orlando Hudson

3B: David Wright

SS: Derek Jeter

LF: Matt Holliday

CF: Ichiro Suzuki

RF: Jermaine Dye

I would try to find pitchers with different out pitches (curve, change etc)

1) Brandon Webb (sinker)

2) Scott Kazmir (slider)

3) Carlos Zambrano

4) Johan Santana (change up)

5) Roy Halladay (curve?)

SU: Jonathan Broxton

CL: Mariano Rivera

This is the team that I would choose for one season. If it was a franchise then I would take out some of the older guys like Dye, Halladay and Rivera and replace them with Ludwick, Billingsley and K Rod.
