As the days get closer to 2007, we take a look back at the 2006 Fantasy Baseball season. We have already unveiled the 2006 All-Rookie Fantasy Team; they were the diamonds in the rough.

Now, here are the kings of the diamond, the MVPs by position that form our All-Fantasy Team. You won't see Alex Rodriguez on this team. Although, he's still a very productive player, this squad is meant to celebrate the players who outperformed their draft position or auction value. Also, we outline a few of the top busts by position, players who didn't come as advertised by us.

2006 All-Fantasy Team
POS Player, TM Rotisserie stats
C Joe Mauer, MIN .347 AVG, 13 HR, 84 RBI, 86 R, 8 SB
Long one of the most talent prospects, he became a star in 2006.
HM: Brian McCann, Josh Willingham and Victor Martinez.
Busts: Jason Varitek and Javy Lopez.
1B Ryan Howard, PHI .313-58-149-104-0
It's downright scary how good he became in just his first full year.
HM: Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman and Justin Morneau.
Busts: Derrek Lee, Mark Teixeira, Todd Helton and Richie Sexson.
2B Dan Uggla, FLA .282-27-90-105-6
Compact stroke helped him set rookie HR record for a second baseman.
HM: Chase Utley, Freddy Sanchez, Brandon Phillips and Mark DeRosa.
Busts: Jorge Cantu, Rickie Weeks and Jeff Kent.
3B Garrett Atkins, COL .329-29-120-117-4
We have called him Todd Helton Jr., but he's proved to be even better.
HM: Ryan Zimmerman, David Wright, Michael Cuddyer and Bill Hall.
Busts: Eric Chavez, Hank Blalock and Morgan Ensberg.
SS Jose Reyes, NYM .300-19-81-122-64
Derek Jeter had a great year, but Reyes' steals trump even Jeter here.
HM: Jeter, Hanley Ramirez and Jimmy Rollins.
Busts: Jhonny Peralta, Bobby Crosby and Khalil Greene.
OF Alfonso Soriano, WAS .277-46-95-119-41
What a way to earn a big payday heading into his free-agent period.
OF Carlos Beltran, NYM .275-41-116-127-18
Like A-Rod, the second year in New York was an MVP-caliber one.
OF Matt Holliday, COL .326-34-114-119-10
He and Atkins form potent 1-2 punch even with a humidor in Colorado.
HM: Grady Sizemore, Lance Berkman and Jermaine Dye.
Busts: Hideki Matsui, Aubrey Huff, Gary Sheffield and Pat Burrell.
DH David Ortiz, BOS .287-54-137-115-1
This might be considered his finest year because of a lack of protection.
HM: Travis Hafner, Jim Thome and Frank Thomas.
Busts: David Dellucci and Mike Sweeney.
SP Johan Santana, MIN 19 W, 2.77 ERA, 245 K, 0.997 WHIP
We've come to expect this, but any MVP team has to have him at No. 1.
SP Aaron Harang, CIN 16-3.76-216-1.272
Not a household name, but breakout finished No. 2 in standard points.
SP Brandon Webb, ARI 16-3.10-178-1.132
Bad last-day start kept him from ERA title but not the NL Cy Young.
SP Bronson Arroyo, CIN 14-3.29-184-1.188
Red Sox let him get away and then might pay $100M for a Japanese rookie.
SP Chris Carpenter, STL 15-3.09-184-1.069
Was this writer's NL Cy Young pick, even if we expected this in Fantasy.
HM: Justin Verlander, Jered Weaver and Francisco Liriano.
Busts: Pedro Martinez, Jake Peavy and Bartolo Colon.
CL Jonathan Papelbon, BOS 4-0.92-75-0.776-35 Saves
Season cut short by shoulder, but stats still legendary for rookie closer.
HM: Francisco Rodriguez, Trevor Hoffman and J.J. Putz.
Busts: Brad Lidge, Chad Cordero and Derrick Turnbow.
RP Joel Zumaya, DET 6-1.94-97-1.176-1
100-mph stuff will slot nicely as closer once Todd Jones is out of way.
HM: Fernando Rodney, Scot Shields and Jonathan Broxton.
Busts: Jorge Sosa, Aaron Heilman, Ryan Madson and Keith Foulke.
