Answer 2

Rotation of:

Walter Johnson

Bob Gibson

Sandy Koufax

Greg Maddux

Roger Clemens

Relievers and closer:

Rollie Fingers

Goose Gossage

Dennis Eckersley

Bruce Sutter

Closer Mariano Rivera

C. Johnny Bench..was best all around catcher the game ever saw.I Rod is close 2nd

1B Lou Gehrig.Iron horse player that was one of the games all around greatest hitters

2B Ryne Sandberg..not for most gifted athlete but made up for that with heart and hard work which made him one of the greatest all around 2B ever.

SS Alex Rodriguez..no SS in the history of the game has had more talent the A Rod.  He will put up some of the greatest offense numbers that the game has ever seen before he retires.

3B Mike Schmidt..one of the premier hitters/slugger of the late 70's-early 80's on top of the fact that he was also a Gold Glove fielder.  Just imagine the numbers that he would put up in today's more HR friendly ballparks.

LF Babe Ruth..the man is baseball and a legend.

CF Willie Mays..the greatest 5 tool player ever

RF Roberto Clemente..after May's would be considered the greatest 5 tool player ever.  His career stats alone do not tell you how great Clemente was during his time in the game and the impact that he had on future Latin American ball players.

DH Ted Williams..the greatest hitter ever but he wasn't the best fielder so he would fill this role perfectly

Bench:

Mickey Mantle would fill in for Ruth late in games for defense as well as a great pinch hitter since he was a switch hitter.

Pete Rose..could play many positions and would not lose a beat either starting or coming off of the bench.

I Rod..Bench would need days off

Ozzie Smith..the greatest defensive SS ever and would backup SS and 2B.

Lineup:

Willie Mays

Ryne Sandberg

Ted Williams

Babe Ruth

Lou Gehrig

Alex Rodriguez

Mike Schmidt

Johnny Bench

Roberto Clemente(I would prefer another speedy runner to set the tables for the top of the order).

Manager..Tony La Russa..no manager gets more from his players(or talent on the team)then he does.

Answer 3

I refuse to answer anyone's post who can write ten pages of a question and still not use the "caps" button once (except for initials of positions). Amazing.
