Question

try to go position by position

OF Ricky Henderson, Bonds, and Manny
!B. Pujols
2B Alomar
3. Mike Schmidt
SS. A-Rod ( I don't care what anyone says I'll take him)
C. Pudge

P. Randy Johnson


I understand my list has all recent players, but who's better.

Answer 1

1B- Albert Pujols
2B- Ryne Sandberg
SS-Ozzie Smith
3B- Mike Schmidt
C- Pudge
OF- Ken Griffey Jr.( as a Mariner)
OF- Tony Gwynn
OF- Kirby Puckett (Has anybody said him yet?)
SP- Roger Clemens
DH- Frank Thomas (one the best longball hitter in his prime)

Answer 2

P. Clemens
C. Gary Carter
1B.Pujols
2B. Roberto Alomar
3B. Mike Schmidt
SS. A Rod (close Ozzie Smith, Cal Ripken Jr.)
OF.Henderson, Gwynn, Griffey Jr.
DH. Paul Molitor

Answer 3

OF- Henderson, Ken Griffey Jr., Darryl Strawberry
1B - Pujols
2B - Craig Biggio
3B - George Brett
SS - Ozzie Smith
C - Pudge
DH - David Ortiz
SP - Roger Clemens
RP - Mariano Rivera

Batting Order
Henderson
Pudge
Pujols
Ortiz
Griffey
Strawberry
Brett
Smith
Biggio

Now that's a line-up that no pitcher would want to face.

Answer 4

I think you've pretty much nailed most of them. It's funny that Manny doesn't even get as much attention as some of his teammates, considering that he's a first-ballot HOFer with incredible numbers. And it's good to see Robby Alomar on there. I think he was an amazing player, although I could see a good argument being made for Ryno.

The only position where I would differ is your starting pitcher. Unit had an amazing run for a few years and is the best strikeout pitcher of the generation, but I would take Roger Clemens, who I believe is the best starting pitcher of the past half century.

Beyond that, I think you've made great choices.

Answer 5

Pitcher: Clemens
Catcher: Gary Carter
1b: albert Pujols
2b: Ryne Sandberg
SS: Ripken jr.
3b: Terry Pendelton
Lf: Bonds
CF: Andruw Jones
RF: Tony Gwynn
DH: Big Papi

Answer 6

SP - Greg Maddux (for a time, he was absolutely unhittable, much more so than Clemens or Randy Johnson)

C - Pudge Rodriguez (Great leader, superb defense and very good hitting)

1B - Albert Pujols (You can't ignore the fact that the guy has never hit below .300 or 34 homers in a season)

2B - Ryne Sandberg (Great power and run production and a very underrated defensive 2nd sacker)

SS - Nomar Garciaparra (Again, for a time, he was easily better than anyone at the position across all categories)

3B - Mike Schmidt (the fact that he was the premier power hitting third baseman for so many years seems to overshadow his 10 Gold Gloves)

OF - Ken Griffey, Jr. (People seem to forget that he was the best all-around player of the 1990's and gunning for best of all-time until injuries hit him)

OF - Ichiro Suzuki (Perhaps the most quintessential all-around player with hitting, defense, and speed playing today)

OF - Tony Gwynn (One of the smartest and best hitters to play the game, and a fine defender to boot)

Answer 7

Starting Pitchers:
Roger Clemens
Nolan Ryan
Steve Carlton
Randy Johnson
David Cone

Relief Pitchers:
Mike Stanton
Jeff Nelson
Fernando Valenzuela
Rollie Fingers
Mariano Rivera

Starting Lineup:
1. Alfonso Soriano (2B)
2. Derek Jeter (SS)
3. Don Mattingly (1B)
4. Alex Rodriguez (3B)
5. Hideki Matsui (LF)
6. Jorge Posada (C)
7. Jason Giambi (DH)
8. Paul O'Neill (RF)
9. Bernie Williams (CF)

Answer 8

It's hard to disagree with your list. I would diefiantely add Mo Rivera as my closer. If I was forced to take a cemterfielder I would go with Griffey Jr. but Manny is right there.and the Rocket Vs. the Unit is a close call to, but think the list is good.

Answer 9

that's a pretty strong list, and hard to argue against any of them. But just to add some other names

OF Griffey,Jr, Dave Winfield, Andruw Jones
1B Frank Thomas
2B Craig Biggio
3B George Brett
SS Robin Yount
C Mike Piazza

SP Roger Clemens (ha, ha he and Piazza would be fun!)
RP Mariano Rivera

Answer 10

SP -- Clemens
Closer -- Mariano Rivera
C- Piazza
1B -- Pete Rose
2B -- Ryne Sandberg
SS -- Cal Ripken JR.
3B -- Mike Schmidt
OF --Barry Bonds, Jim Rice, Dave Winfield
DH -- Paul Molitor
