Let's pretend you could have a draft that included all MLB players throughout history.

Who would make a spot on one of these 24 teams?

Who is the best of the best at each position...

I'm mostly looking at total careers, however if a player had a particularly great season or 2 or 3 (like Maris 61 in 61 or Gagne in 03 or Earl Webb hitting 67 doubles in 1931) we certainly can name those guys too.

The purpose for this exercise is I am playing a simulated baseball game and am trying to put together a league of 24 fairly evenly matched teams featuring the greatest of all time.

The positions that are obviously a little tougher to fill are 2B,SS,3B and C.

Pitching is tough too as if each team has a 5 man rotation that would require 120 pitchers...

Anyway hoping to get some input and spark some interest.

Thanks

Give me ne day to come up with my list, but players I'd pick are


Roger Clemens
Nolan Ryan
Josh Becktt
Barry Bonds
Dwight Gooden
Jim Palmer
Mike Schmidt
George Brett
Johny Bench
Pete Rose
Carl Yastremski
Don Mattingly
Joe Carter
Mark Maguire
Dwight Gooden
Wade Boggs
Rickey Henderson



ok, so most people will  go for the old timers Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Sandy Koufax, Ty Cobb, Joe Dimaggio, etc but I don't think those players of yesteryear could compete with these new players.

As far as instestianal fortitude goes, Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron top the list

There's actually a fantasy league that lets you do that....

It's called "Diamond Mind" and it's located here : http://www.simnasium.com/home

Their pricing makes it more condisive for a group of people to join together (and I'm game to join if three other forum members here would want to split the $69.95 (which is about $17 each).

1 team ($19.95) / 4 teams ($69.95) / 9 teams ($149.95; **Best Value**).

Back to the topic... hmmm, I'd have to think...


I'd choose :

Starting Pitchers
Josh Beckett (either '03 or '07)
Nolan Ryan ('72 or '73)
Don Newcombe ('56)
Jim Palmer ('70)

[1st Base]
Lou Gherig ( '27)
Albert Pujols ('05 or '06)

[2nd Base]
Jackie Robinson ('49)
Rogers Hornsby ('25)

Shortstop
Derek Jeter ('99)

[3rd Base]
Alex Rodrigues ('07)
Chipper Jones ('99)

Outfielders
Dale Murphy ('82 - '85)
Hank Aaron ('57)
Roger Maris ('61)
Mickey Mantle ('61)
Mark McGwire ('98)
Jimmy Rollins ('07)

Catcher:
Johnny Bench ('70)
Carlton Fisk    ( '85)

This is an incomplete list, I'm fill in some more whane i have time....

[admiralsaro]

I'm interested in this fantasy league that lets you pick players from the past and present. Has anybody tried it yet?

i agree with BaseballTalkPro , thanks for the info buddy ?

[greg.simonster]

I had stopped checking after a couple of weeks, but seems there WAS some interest...

I haven't played Diamond Mind, but am now addicted to a different sim site. It is WAY cheaper than Diamond Mind @ $12.95 per team or buy 5 get one free for $59.95.

I'd be interested in more feedback, I may try diamond mind at some point but would like to use up my remaining teams at WIS...

[ridler2013]

Barry Bonds
