Ill make my case for a better US liineup at the leadoff and number 5 spots. The rest is pretty much dead even, with maybe an exception at the 3 hole, with Pujols over Griffey....however when Griffey is healthy, there may not be a better CF.

Soriano is not a good lead off hitter. He is very subpar when compared to Damon and Michael Young. Soriano strikes out way too much and chases bad pitches. Young and Damon are solid contact hitters and will have much greater obp. In the 5 hole, Moises Alou, at 40, is still good, but he is no Mark Teixera. Gold Glove first baseman, 300. + avg. and 46 homeruns, plus he is a lefty.
