All-Offensive Team of All-Time?

Question

Who would make your all-offence team? Here's mine.
C-Mickey Cochrane
1B-Bill Terry
2B-Rogers Hornsby
3B-Wade Boggs
SS-Arky Vaughan
OF-Ty Cobb
OF-Tris Speaker
OF-Ted Williams

You see, my theory is that if you choose an offensive team based entirely on contact hitting, the RBIs and runs will come, because if everybody gets base hits, people WILL score runs.

Answer 1

C - Mike Piazza
1B - Lou Gehrig
2B - Rogers Hornsby
3B - Mike Schmidt
SS - Alex Rodriquez
LF - Ted Williams
CF - Willie Mays
RF - Babe Ruth
DH - Hank Aaron

P - Wes Ferrell

Answer 2

So many choices here, and each could be argued for and against. OK, here's my thoughts:
C - Cochrane is a great choice (Piazza would be OK because of Dodger seasons)
1B - Lou Gehrig
2B - Yes, Hornsby, good choice (since I agree!)
3B - Mike Schmidt (you asked for offense, and I'm thinking HR over double, in the case of Boggs)
SS - Alex Rodriguez (I know, I know, but he's one HR shy of being the all-time leader in this position even though he's been playing 3B for the Yankees for some years now)
OF - Babe Ruth
OF - Henry Aaron
OF - Ted Williams
(on behalf of the OFs, with apologies to Willie Mays)
Good topic for debate!

Answer 3

C- Bench -come on Cochrane BU
1st -L Gerig with either E Murry or Rod Carew BU
2nd-Ed Collins with J. Morgan as BU
SS- H Wagner he played ss not 2nd-R Yount BU
3rd-Pete Rose -u said offensive get real with M Schmidt as BU
OF Ty Cobb - no brainer-Reggie Jacson BU
OF-Willie May -no brainer-Hank Arron BU
OF Ted Willaims-Mickey Mantle
Now this is a offensive team

Answer 4

RD...Good list but I would put Barry Bonds Instead of Reggie.
Piazza has to be in the mix at catcher. Finally I know it's early in his career but Micah Owings is off to a great offensive start, 5-10 years from now he just might be a no brainer at pitcher

Answer 5

You leave out too many players when you only have nine. Use two leagues and there will be a better list. If you are the NO. 1 Met fan where is Mays baby???? and you just can't leave Rose, Gerick or Arron off the list. Just an opinion.

Answer 6

C - Mike Piazza
1B - Mark McGwire
2B - Jeff Kent
3B - Mike Schmidt
SS - Alex Rodriguez
OF - Barry Bonds
OF - Hank Aaron
OF -Babe Ruth
P - Mike Hampton

Answer 7

DH-David Ortiz

Answer 8

that is a pretty good team right there..
