What's yours? This is mine, if you can think of a better one let me know. It's open to correction.

*C: Craig Biggio
1B: Jeff Bagwell
**2B: Joe Morgan
+3B: Doug Rader
SS: Roger Metzger (not much with a bat, but a defensive whiz)
++OF: Lance Berkman
OF: Jimmy Wynn
OF: Jose Cruz

PH:
Glenn Davis
Lee May


SP:
1.) Nolan Ryan
2.) Roger Clemens
3.) Mike Scott
4.) Roy Oswalt
5.) J.R. Richards

Bullpen (two setup men, one closer)
Dave Smith
Brad Lidge
CL: Billy Wagner

The other three in the 'pen:
Andy Pettitte, Larry Dierker, and I took a half year of Randy Johnson over several from Mike Hampton.


*Moved him back to catcher because we've had a plethora of good 2B but not that many catchers.
**Tough to pick him over Jeff Kent, Billy Doran and a few others, but his leadership and all-around great play led me to choose him.
+ Toughest choice to make. It came down to Rader, Ken Caminiti, and Sean Berry. Berry had the best individual years of the three, but that only lasted for a few seasons. Rader was better over a longer period of time, so I gave the nod to him.
++Beltran was great, but only gave us half a season. Moises Alou, Derek Bell and Roger Cedeno just missed the cut.

Let's get one of the mods to combine the threads... make it one huge one with both of our all-time teams.
