I haven't put mine together, just thought I'd start the thread. If you could pick anyone playing currently in the MLB to form a team, who would it be? My rules are that they must play their current position. Now take into account, you don't just want to get the top 9 players. I mean build a real team. Take into account defense, offense, speed, clutch hitting. Should be interesting to see some of the combos we can come up with. I'll be back with mine sometime tomorrow probably. Interested to see what everyone else comes up with.
BTW, Im gonna go ahead and make it a 25 man roster. Use whoever you like. No DH. This is the team you would want to represent you to take on all comers say next season. Not a long term deal. A one season Dream Team. What would your 25 man roster look like? Don't forget Utility Men, PH, and your Staff. 5 starters and a pen.
This would be my 25 man roster. Not to build stats, but to win games.
Starting lineup
1. Brian Roberts (2b)
2. Carlos Beltran (CF)
3. Albert Pujols (1b)
4. Manny Ramirez (LF)
5. Miguel Tejada (SS)
6. Bobby Abreu (RF)
7. Alex Rodriguez (3B)
8. Jason Varitek (C)
Rotation
Pedro Martinez
Roger Clemens
Johan Santana
Mark Prior
Jake Peavy
Pen
Randy Johnson
John Smoltz
Eric Gagne
Mariano Rivera
Billy Wagner
Closer
Franky Rodriguez
Bench
Scott Podsednik (Pinch runner, and defensive replacement for Manny)
Ichiro Suzuki (when contact is necessary)
Scott Rolen (defensive replacement for ARod)
Ivan Rodriguez (guess you need a backup catcher)
Vlad Guerrero (just too good to leave off)
Yes, I'm just bored. Just wondered what would be the best possible team to assemble to take on all comers. I know by taking up all these great players, there would be no competition left, but it was just a hypothetical nonsense type thing.

once again showing your lack of knowledge Nor......
if I think Wakefield has been the most valuable memebr of the Red Sox, why wouldn't I have him on a team I was building? With that theory, I'd have NO red Sox players...
I didn't say he should be an all star, but the question was about putting a WINNING team together!
Varitek, back up to who?
