All Time Lineup - By Team

[mattsey9]

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.
2. Players must have played for the majority of their career for the team you're putting them on. In other words, you can't put Greg Maddux on the Padres.
3. Put them in the batting order you feel best serves the team.

1. Cap Anson 1B .333/.393/.445 3418 Career Hits
2. Jimmy Ryan CF .306/.374/.444 418 Career SB
3. Billy Williams LF .290/.361/.492 426 Career HR
4. Sammy Sosa RF .273/.344/.534 602 Career HR
5. Ernie Banks SS .274/.330/.500 512 Career HR
6. Gabby Hartnett C .297/.370/.480 236 Career HR
7. Ron Santo 3B .277/.362/.464 342 Career HR/5 Gold Gloves
8. Ryne Sandberg 2B .285/.344/.452 282HR/9GG/344SB
9. 3 Finger Brown P 239-130 2.06 ERA 3-0 in '07-'08 WS

I like your line-up, but I would change one player and the order:

1. Billy Williams, LF
2. Ryne Sandberg, 2B
3. Sammy Sosa, RF
4. Hack Wilson, CF
5. Ernie Banks, SS
6. Cap Anson, 1B (really wanted to say Grace, but can't ignore the numbers)
7. Ron Santo, 3B
8. Gabby Hartnett, C
9. Mordecai Brown, P (also considered Maddux and Jenkins)

I considered Wilson, but six of his twelve seasons weren't with the Cubs.

I think rule #2 disqualifies all but one person at at least two positions for the Mariners.

[goofball]

1. Ichiro, RF
2. Alex Rodriguez, SS
3. Ken Griffey Jr., CF
4. Edgar Martinez, DH
5. Raul Ibanez, RF
6. John Olerud, 1B
7. Bret Boone, 2B
8. Adrian Beltre, 3B
9. Kenji Johjima, C

Randy Johnson, P

Arod has played 3rd for a few years, but he always played short for the Ms. If I could put arod at third I'd drop Beltre and put Vizquel at short.

edit becasue I forgot you can't just change people's positions to suit you, even outfielders

Also Junior played more games for Seattle at CF (1485)then anyone ever for the mariners at a single position (second is Edgar with 1412 games at DH), so he should probably be in CF.

[SL__72]

1. Carew, 2B
2. Mauer, C
3. Puckett, CF
4. Killebrew, 3B
5. Morneau, 1B
6. Oliva, RF
7. Shane Mack, LF
8. Versalles, SS
9. Santana, SP

/edit to give Bert Blyleven an honorable mention for SP.
//edit2 The Twins have never had much at DH. Can I put someone like Hrbek there? Or maybe move Killebrew there to make room for Gaetti?

when did Ken Griffey play LW for the Mariners? Either Raul Ibanez or Phil Bradley should go there - Ken Griffey Jr. should move to center, and Ichiro to right (although it's close).

o and jim presley at 3b!

[Scary_Tiger]

1. Tris Speaker, CF
2. Wade Boggs, 3B
3. Ted Williams, LF
4. David Ortiz, DH
5. Nomar Garciaparra, SS
6. Mo Vaughn, 1B
7. Carlton Fisk, C
8. Trot Nixon, RF
9. Bobby Doerr, 2B

I wish Manny had more games played at DH. Oh well. Can I put David Ortiz at 1B? Carl Yastrzemski at 1B?

Oh and Pedro for SP.
