Re: All Time Lineup - By Team
The Phillies by position. Sadly you don't have to have been a Phillies fan for long to have seen most of these guys:
C Mike Lieberthal 1B Ryan Howard 2B Chase Utley 3B Mike Schmidt SS Jimmy Rolins LF Ed Delahanty CF Cy Williams RF Chuck Klein LHP Steve Carlton RHP Grover Cleveland Alexander Maybe Schilling in place of Alexander. Sadly most of these positions aren't even debateable. Maybe Luzimski in LF since Delahanty played pre 1920.

Re: All Time Lineup - By Team
[ QUOTE ]
Here are the ground rules: 1. Each player must play his own primary position. No putting Mantle/Dimaggio in the same lineup because they were both primarily center fielders. [/ QUOTE ] Why? Any manager with half a brain, and access to Dimaggio, Mantle, Ruth, and everyone who has played LF in the history of the Yankees would start Dimaggio at CF, Ruth at RF, and Mantle at LF and forget everyone else. I can understand how you don't want to move the IF positions around or interchange OF and IF, but any good CF would also be a good LF.

Re: All Time Lineup - By Team
Rubeskies: Charlie Keller? Bob Meusel? Rickey Henderson?
I think some of these 'majority' rules are kinda screwed up - a player should have played his BEST years in the city. also for the brewers: no bj surhoff at catcher? also for the royals, how about john wathan?

Re: All Time Lineup - By Team
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Cincinnati Reds 1. Barry Larkin - SS 2. Pete Rose - 3B 3. George Foster - LF 4. Ken Griffey Jr. - CF 5. Johnny Bench - C 6. Joe Morgan - 2B 7. Tony Perez - 1B 8. Frank Robinson - RF 9. Tom Seaver - P [/ QUOTE ] Morgan, Seaver, and Griffey are disqualified based on rule #2. [/ QUOTE ] Ok, I'll give you Griffey and Seaver since their best years were with other teams, but Morgan's primary team in the HOF is listed as the Red's, and I'm keeping him. Center field would be Edd Roush, but he's a real old timer (quit playing in 1931). The Red's have never had great pitching - without reaching back to the turn of the century for Noodles Hahn, the best I could come up with is Mario Soto or Joe Nuxall. Who would you pick?

No way I'd put anyone there ahead of him. How about Ruth to LF and Mantle in RF?
