Best players per position

... And adding Berkman as a DH is laughable since he doesn't even play it

Nobody "plays" DH.

According to Baseball-Reference, Berkman has exactly 51 plate appearances as a DH. Whether that justifies someone listing him as a DH is an argument I won't get into.

I think it's Utley and it's not particularly close. Uggla is one of the worst defensive 2Bs in the game.

Uggla's defense was rated at +4 in the +/- system which was good for 9th best in baseball in 2008. All Star game just gave people a bad perception of his defense.

I agree on the Utley part though.

Could you provide a link to this scoring system? I'm curious because it isn't passing my smell test. I absolutely believe you, I just want to learn more about this metric. Thanks, buddy.

C - Mauer (could be Wieters as soon as this year)

1B - Pujols

2B- Utley

3B - ARod

SS- H. Ramirez

LF - Holliday

CF - Sizemore

RF - Markakis (While Ludwick was better this year, I believe Markakis will consistently be better going forward)

Wieters is better than Piazza.

You are correct, but only because Piazza is no longer playing.

If Wieters one day approaches Piazza's numbers then we will have had one of the all-time greats. To insist he is "better" at this point is a representation of your credibility more than anything else.
