2007 All MLB Team

1b- Prince Fielder- MIL: Fielder the Younger is a force at the plate that is reminiscent of his father. This season, he became the youngest player to ever hit 50 homers in a season. He also drove in 119 runs. Not bad for a kid that I remember from a bad McDonald's ad in the early 90s.

2b- Placido Polanco- DET: Polanco hit .341 and committed 0 errors on the season. His record for consecutive errorless games will go into next season.

3b- Alex Rodriguez- NYY: Do I really need to explain?

SS- Jimmy Rollins- PHL: It is hard to pick a Phillies offensive player because their ballpark is a complete joke, but Rollins is getting serious consideration for MVP. This season, he became the 4th player in history with 20 doubles, 20 triples, 20 homers, and 20 steals.

OF- Matt Holliday- COL: The probably NL MVP. This was a career year for Holliday. He lead the league in hitting and RBI and oh yeah, helped lead Colorado to the playoffs for the first time in 12 years by tripling off Hall of Famer Trevor Hoffman and then scoring the Wild Card winning run.

OF- Magglio Ordonez- DET: The Tigers' first batting champ since 1961. Maggs was also 2nd in the league in RBI and hit over .400 with RISP. If A-Rod had not put together such a ridiculous season, Maggs would be MVP.

OF- Curtis Granderson- DET: The third player to join the 20-20-20-20 club and the first in 50 years. Granderson sparked Detroit's offense and played gold glove caliber defense in the field. He also hit .302.

C- Jorge Posada- NYY: MLB has a catching shortage. There aren't many great catchers anymore. Posada is one of the old guard and put up some gaudy offensive numbers. He hit a career high .338 with his usual 20 homers and 90 RBI.

DH- David Ortiz- BOS: When he's done, Ortiz may hold all the power records for the DH position. Big Papi defines clutch and was just heating up as the Sox sail into the October storms. Ortiz suffered a bit from an off year by Manny Ramirez, but still proved to be the AL's premier Designated Hitter.

Bench- Marlon Anderson- NYM: 95 at-bats and 27 RBI.

RHP- Jake Peavy- SD: Although Peavy did not get it done against Colorado, he was still MLB's top right handed hurler for the 2007 season. He led the majors in strikeouts (240) and ERA (2.54) and the NL in wins (19).

LHP- C.C. Sabathia- CLE: The AL CY Young Co-Favorite. C.C. had a monster year.Sabathia went deep into games, beat the AL's best (Verlander and Santana) time and time again, gave up fewer hits than IP, struck out 209 batters, and went 19-7.

Setup- Rafael Betancourt- CLE: The most annoying player in MLB. He's slooooow. During one game against Detroit, the umps penalized him because he took too long. He is this generation's human rain delay, but also a major reason Cleveland made the playoffs. Put Betancourt in Detroit, and the Tigers are still playing this season.

REL- Jonathan Papelbon-BOS: He's just unhittable. Papelbon pitched less this season and as a result, he is still effective. He saved 37 games in 40 chances, whiffed 84 batters in 58 1/3 innings, and gave up just 30 hits. His WHIP was 0.77.

Honorary Member: Craig Biggio: HOU: Craig Biggio was a Hall of Famer without the 3000 hits. He played the game the way it was supposed to be played. Biggio always hustled, came up with the big play when needed, was always dirty, and had the world's messiest batting helmet. Pro-Sports needs more Craig Biggios.
