Using the 2012 Oliver database, here is the top-projected-WAR starting lineup:
Pos Player 2012 Projected WAR
P Yu Darvish 7.0 (Wow!)
C Joe Mauer 3.5
1B Albert Pujols 5.5
2B Robinson Cano 4.5
3B Evan Longoria 4.6
SS Troy Tulowitzki 5.6
LF Ryan Braun* 4.6
CF Matt Kemp 4.9
RFl Jose Bautista 3.9
-----
44.1
* - If Braun indeed suspended for 50 games, will then substitute in Matt Holiday, 4.2 projected WAR.
Think you could construct a lineup with other players that will out-WAR the above lineup in 2012? Perhaps worth an investigation after the season!
