That 2009 lineup is dirty but they really fall off on pitching.  2010 has a close lineup with far and away a better rotation and bullpen. 2011 Doesn't quite have the depth at this point to make me move them ahead of either 09 or 10.

I think it's worth noting that 2011 would probably be the best defensive team in the history of baseball. 2010 is a really good defensive roster, but 2011 is something else with the glove. 

Which also helps guys like Kyle Hendricks a bunch.

This is my position as well.
