I heard this topic brought up on the radio this morning and it got me thinking.
Put on your Owner/GM/Coach hats on and answer this question.
If you were given a MLB expansion franchise, which 3 players would you take to start your franchise?

My 3 would be:
Bryce Harper
Mike Trout
Yadier Molina or Felix Hernandez or Justin Verlander (not sure yet on my last player...)

I think Bryce Harper and Mike Trout would be in everyone's top 3. As far as the third goes, I would say Buster Posey. 26 years old, and just an absolute stud. Hard to find in a catcher these days.... also tough to pass on Cabrera

Pitching, Pitching, Pitching.
Chris Sale (pitcher from the White Sox), Matt Harvey, and Verlander.

With good pitching, you could put a triple A team out there and still win 82 games.

I would still take Molina over Posey and I love Buster Posey. However, Molina is the only catcher in baseball right now, that changes a teams mentality on the base paths. I understand he's in his 30's but it is hard to pass on him.
The issue though is that a AAA team wont be winning any World Series Championships...but, as the saying goes, you can never have too much pitching.
