Your Personal MLB All-Time All-Star Team

[GreenMonster]

My 25 Man Roster of All-Time

1- (starters) Nolan, Herscheiser, Sutcliffe, The Rocket, and Greg Maddux
2- Pudge Rodriguez and Pudge Fisk
3- Mark Grace and Todd Helton
4- Ryne Sandberg (Michael Young as back-up)
5- Wade Boggs (Michael Young as back-up)
6- Cal Ripken Jr (Michael Young as back-up)
7- Kirk Gibson
8- Lenny Dykstra
9- Tony Gwinn
Outfield backups- Griffey Jr and The Hawk Andre Dawson
Closers/Set Up- Eckersly, Lee Smith, and Mariano Rivera
Middle Relief- David Wells, Mark Beurhle, Jimmy Key, and Kevin Brown

I chose to only use players that I actually watched play. My middle relievers were all guys that were big names as starters, but I think would make great middle men. No real mashers other than maybe Griffey, but a bunch of hard nosed, run into the fence, take a bad hop off the teeth and throw em out, doubles hitters, and guys on the mound that go right at you. Not much finesse on my bump. Defensively we would not necessarity be spectacular, but really steady in the infield with a risk taker in center.

[Old Tiger]

I'll do my all time in batting order/position and what I think would make the best team.



1. Ichiro Suzuki - RF
2. Craig Biggio - 2B
3. Lou Gehrig - 1B
4. Babe Ruth - DH
5. Cal Ripken Jr - 3B
6. Ted Williams - LF
7. Ken Griffey Jr - CF
8. Derek Jeter - SS
9. Yogi Berra - C
SP. Walter Johnson



*Notes*

1. Ichiro one of the best lead off hitters of all time.
2. Biggio is one of the most underrated players due to the Houston market
3. Ripken because of his durability
7. Griffey is one of the best athletes to ever play and was a heck of a fielder
8. Derek Jeter lives off the yankee aura but is worth the hype

I don't agree with the Jeff Kent addition to the PED team...mainly because he has been against players that have tested positive and Kent wants blood tests and stricter policies but maybe he is doing this to cover his tracks
