Pujols

Other than Second base, I'm sure that's as solid as it gets, offensively and defensively..

These were my choices:

Pujols
Robinson Cano
Jeter
Miguel Cabrera (or A-Rod...I'd take either)
Joe Mauer


That to me takes the best of the current and those with tons of potential like Cano, Mauer, and Cabrera.

This is what SportsNation said

Pujols
Chase Utley
Jeter
A-Rod
Mauer
