Which of these two MLB teams would you you take?

There are two teams below, with pitchers excluded. You can't mix and match. You are a GM and you can take either TEAM A or TEAM B for the next 3 years.

The question is simple, which team do you take?

PS . I realize that the best two players at each position where not necessarily the ones picked - I mention this before anyone rags about....how come you don't have Joe Blow in left field??

Team A
SS H Ramirez
2b Roberts
1b Mourneau
3b Rodriguez
CF Granderson
LF M Ramirez
RF Ordonez
C Varitek

Team B
SS Reyes
2B Palanco
1B Pujols
3B M Cabrera
CF Suzuki
LF Holliday
RF Guerrero
C Posada

At first glance i was gonna say A no doubt bc of the big name guys: arod, manny, and morneau (magglio too but not on the same level as these guys imo). The big names on B are pujols, vlad and cabrera/reyes. but palanco>roberts imo and also posada>varitek. then tack on ichiro and i think team b takes it. the big names on A are better but team B has more depth and te big names arent too shabby either.

Team B is equal or better at every single position.

A-Rod isn't on team B.

Cabrera > A-Rod

SS: Reyes >> Ramirez, B
3B: Rodriguez >> Cabrera, A
2B: Roberts > Polanco, A
1B: Pujols > Morneau, B
LF: Holliday > Ramirez, B
CF: Suzuki >>> Granderson, B
RF: Guerrero >> Ordonez, B
C: Posada > Varitek, B

B would win 21-5, with A-Rod going 5-for-5 with 5 solo HR.

I love when people make posts that are incredibly wrong and say /thread afterwards.

what exactly is incredibly wrong about my assesment? probably I exaggerated, rodriguez is only > cabrera, not >>, and same goes with reyes vs. ramirez, but the rest are accurate

EDIT: I actually analyzed this on a one-game basis and I forgot about the 3 year thing, but hands down I take team B for the next 3 years

[tarheeljks]

i'm of the opinion that ramirez > reyes, but that's just a small point. i'd take B

[Pudge714]

Well the problem is with Reyes and Ramirez you created a baseline for what each of your > means.
Reyes and Ramirez are really close and you could flip it. If Hanley wasn't such a liability defensively it wouldn't be close.
But for instance
Reyes - Ramirez < Posada - Varitek
I think Suzuki isn't >>> Granderson especially when you consider Granderson is getting better while Ichiro is getting worse.
