Answer 6

This is a truly difficult question to answer since baseball has been around for over a century and has gone through many changes in playing styles and strategies. Some players were known for their defense as much as their offense, and these players would have to be considered the most valuable.

Everyone will give different answers based on whether they like power or speed, AL or NL, East coast or West coast (or Mid-west like me).

My team is based on what players were way above most of their peers at the time and often ended up considered the best one or two players at their positions all-time.

C-Johnny Bench (honorable mention: Josh Gibson)
1b-Lou Gehrig (HM: Jimmie Foxx)
2b-Roger Hornsby (HM: Joe Morgan & Eddie Collins)
ss-Honus Wagner (HM: Cal Ripken)
3b-Mike Schmidt (HM: Eddie Matthews & George Brett)
LF-Ted Williams (HM: Barry Bonds & Stan Musial)
CF-Willie Mays (HM: Ty Cobb & Mickey Mantle)
note: Mays was the first black player to be chosen 'captain' of his team
RF-Babe Ruth (HM: Hank Aaron)
Starting Rotation:
1-Walter Johnson
2-Cy Young
3-Roger Clemens
4-Lefty Grove
5-Satchel Paige
Relievers weren't considered as important until later on, so none make my list, although as closers go, Rivera is probably the best, especially considering his stellar playoff record.

There are of course many, many more outstanding players that could be listed. A better way to look at all-time greats may be to have teams for each decade or quarter-century so more players would be recognized with their peers at the time. I'm curious to see what other people will answer to this question. TS

Answer 10

I suppose it depends what you value in your lineup.
I would say
RF - Babe Ruth
CF - Willie Mays
LF - Ted Williams
1B - Lou Gehrig
2B - Rogers Hornsby
SS - going to go out on a limb and say Alex Rodriguez
3B - Mike Schmidt
C - Johnny Bench

RHP Walter Johnson
LHP Lefty Grove

for the newer guys
RHP Greg Maddux
RHP Roger Clemens
LHP Randy Johnson

Other than Alex Rodriguez at SS, I would say that no current player is the best at their position in the history of baseball.
