I'd probably choose Yadi or Buster. When all is said and done, both players will

match up as defensive equals to Rodriguez.

Yadi's hitting has been more up and down, but Buster's has been consistent and is currently .309.

Not saying I'd put either over a Fisk, Bench or Yogi (at this point), but I wouldn't do that with Pudge either.

What would your all time lineup be if you could pick any players ever?

Bonds and Ruth are always at the top of any WAR or VORP list.

Bonds was a jerk and his numbers inflated by roids and Ruth an alcoholic.

sgriff

4/26/17 11:27am

Yet you have Cobb on there...

foofcoug

4/26/17 11:29am

There is a lot of mis information about Cobb out there. Read this article:

Ty Cobb

And the stories of Ted Williams alcoholism are well known too.

The Old Y

4/26/17 11:44am

Didn't know about Ted's alcoholism. I could be talked into a switch for Ruth.

If you have 12 minutes, Bonds is the greatest baseball player of all time:

4/26/17 1:06pm

I know. I just don't like him and wouldn't want to lose him to drug testing.

sgriff

4/26/17 1:12pm

Yes. He was found guilty of obstruction of justice but never found guilty of

Lineup by JAWS Leaders

Lol. My brain read Warren Sapp, not Warren Spahn.

You're going to risk steroid guys? They're going to get caught with modern tests

sgriff

4/26/17 11:43am

I think you need to add Mantle, Dimaggio, and Rose

Samuel Hall Society

4/26/17 11:35am

who does he take off? i think he's sticking with 9 guys in the lineup.

smokymountainrain

4/26/17 11:39am

Over Who?

sgriff

4/26/17 11:42am

Nolan Ryan as the SP. Love ya Gibson, but come on now.

The Old Y

4/26/17 11:42am

Found this description of Gibson online:

4/26/17 12:15pm

Wagner was a SS, wasn't he?

JDBlue

4/26/17 11:43am

Yes. He was.

donnerstag

4/26/17 12:57pm

Yes, but I think any great SS could transition to 2B easily enough.

sgriff

4/26/17 12:58pm

If you don't have bonds, you don't have the best lineup ever.

Josef K

4/26/17 11:46am

Or Tony Gwynn. The best "hitter" in the modern era. Highly underated.

The Old Y

4/26/17 11:50am

I did consider Gwynn pretty hard. tough to leave him off. might be worth

sgriff

4/26/17 12:10pm

I can't have any team without Griffey. I firmly believe he was the best outfielder of all time.

indocoug

4/26/17 11:52am

Wow. Pudge over Bench? Shoot, I'd put a couple CURRENT catchers over Pudge.

4/26/17 11:55am

yeah. Not too sure about that pick either. I could easily be swayed.

sgriff

4/26/17 12:02pm

Yeah, you'll notice I didn't mention WHICH current C's, for a similar reason.

4/26/17 12:09pm

Pudge is the best defensive catcher there was. Also a solid .296 batting average and one of the faster catchers

indocoug

4/26/17 12:17pm

I was thinking Yadier Molina for Defense and game management but he is slow

sgriff

4/26/17 12:20pm

Except that Ivan was a way better hitter than Molina (and just as good as Posey), but a much better defender

indocoug

4/26/17 12:43pm

That's why I picked him for my lineup.

sgriff

4/26/17 12:57pm

I'd probably choose Yadi or Buster. When all is said and done, both players will

4/26/17 12:32pm

My List:

The Old Y

4/26/17 12:05pm

you're list has 7 outfielders. Who's playing playing the infield?

sgriff

4/26/17 12:08pm

It does not matter. I'm playing short though. Already Called it.

The Old Y

4/26/17 12:09pm

I'll take Ozzie over the old Y any day

sgriff

4/26/17 12:11pm

Me too!

The Old Y

4/26/17 12:14pm

Ok. Since this is your game, and you force me to do it:

The Old Y

4/26/17 12:13pm

You know, you COULD pitch Ruth if you really couldn't find an OF spot. I bet

4/26/17 12:17pm

Ruth as a pitcher and hitter combo is interesting for a single game apporach.

sgriff

4/26/17 12:25pm

I always knew he pitched early in his career but never assumed he was any better

4/26/17 12:38pm

It's amazing how truly great he was at both pitching and hitting.

sgriff

4/26/17 12:56pm

Willimas would be a liabilty in center and Ruth couldn't squat down for more

sgriff

4/26/17 12:23pm

Will be interesting to see where Mike Trout ends up in 10 years

BYUheaven

4/26/17 12:05pm

Koufax for pitcher.
