If you had to start a Major League Baseball team around one position player and one pitcher, who would they be?
Many people think you have to be strong up the middle, so would you pick a shortstop, centerfielder or catcher to build your team around? Would be pitcher be a starting pitcher or a relief pitcher? Make sure you justify your answer with specific reasons. Thank you!

If I were to build a Major League Baseball team around one position player, it would most certainly be first baseman Albert Pujols. This is not a sexy pick, nor is it going out on a limb to say, but Pujols has ended this debate. His on-field presence is Hall of Fame caliber, his leadership is essential to the St. Louis Cardinals success year after year on a small market budget, and his off-field persona is a model for all professional athletes to follow. He has become the most feared hitter in baseball with his average and power, but he also has a high IQ for the game by exhibiting excellent base running and Gold Glove caliber defense.
He began his career by winning the National League Rookie of the Year Award in 2001 and has since been selected as an All-Star nine times. He also won the National League Most Valuable Player Award three times, as well as the National League Hank Aaron Award, and a World Series ring in 2006.
