Initially I considered having people vote but most of the positions have clear choices, so I'll simply show my all living team and then present some top candidates by position.

So where's A-Rod?
I considered listing Alex Rodriguez at both SS and 3B but since I knew I would not select him I decided that he would be too distracting. Rodriguez is certainly a valid ad hoc candidate as is Miguel Cabrera.
Your greatest living player, a steroid user (look at his head pre-Giants vs pre-73 homers) you are insulting ALL of the players who did it right. At least one thing, unlike the MLB Network, you rank Albert Pujols correctly.
We don't know who used and who gets insulted is up to the individual. There's enough unethical behavior to go around. Considering only one is pretty silly. How about telling teams that you are younger than you really are and getting a BIG ten year contract. Any guesses?
