I'd definitely put A-Rod and Vladimir Guerrero above everyone else, as far as position players. Bonds no longer plays solid defense, and his game is relatively one-dimensional (although he does that dimension better than anyone ever has). Plus I think he's a tool.
As for pitchers, I'd put Pedro, Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson in a catagory by themselves, along with probably Mariano Rivera. They're just too dominant - Pedro moreso than any when he's 'on' and healthy.
Ichiro doesn't make the 'list' for me b/c his game just isn't 'dominating' - he's an amazing player, but his game doesn't really win games by itself (whereas A-Rod's 6 rbi in a game the other week singlehandedly won it for the awful Rangers) - he's a great offensive and defensive player, but not dominant in the mode of, say, a Rickey Henderson in his prime.
