Build a team around this SP!
A lot of great young starting pitching around the league right now. Looking to see which of the following guys you most wish you had on your team with salaries and arbitration years being a nonfactor. I only included players with major league experience or are beginning the 07 season with the major league club.

Really, I am? A reliever last year who didn't even really dominate and he's ranked in the with the top young starters in the game. Also, this is coming from a Cardinal fan.
Really theres no way in hell he's better than Bonderman, Weaver, Verlander, E. Santana, and S. Olsen amongst others, while all these guys are younger. But I digress, I'm not trying to take away from the original question, which the clear answer is Felix.

Of the guys mentioned I would only take Jered Weaver and Jeremy Bonderman over Wainwright and Bondy is entering his 5th season or something along those lines already. I am trying to limit the poll to guys with very minimal experience. Weaver should have definetly been included but I don't think it is so ridiculous to put Wainwright in this poll.

Ya I certainly didn't mean over Felix. I was referring to the players you mentioned. It may sound crazy to some but yes I believe he is better than E. Santana, Olsen, and Verlander. In fact I think Verlander is probably at the bottom of that group of players. Wainwright will probably be the #2 guy in that Cardinals rotation by year's end.
