What 5 MLB Players would you begin to Build Your Own All Time Team Around

[SissyBoyFloyd]

This is NOT a draft. It is just for interest and fun to compare how differently people would start their teams. Pick any Player you want according to the Rules.

Only 3 Rules:
1. All players picked must have played the Majority of their MLB career during the 20th Century.
2. Your 5 players must consist of 1 OutF, 1 InF, 1 RH P, 1 LH P, 1 Rel P
3. These Players are not Available, due to being the obvious choices by many. A larger variety would be more interesting. Not To Be Picked: Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Ted Williams, Barry Bonds, Mariano Rivera, Mario Rivera, or Maharishi Mahesh Rivera.

I will start my team off with:
OF - Hank Aaron
IF - Johnny Bench
LHP - Sandy Koufax
RHP - Bob Gibson
Relief - Billy Wagner

WTF is an all time start your team with?

Start your team means current players.

All time means obviously historical peak players

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

OF: Mike Trout
IF: Albert Pujols
RHP: Pedro Martinez
LHP: Randy Johnson
Closer: Mariano Rivera

you need a different closer (rule 3)

Like the LHP pick though. Just the fact of him being so tall would be awful scary for a hitter.

I didn’t pick Mario Rivera.

you surely didn't. my brain deficiency! It was one of his brothers I was thinking, Mariano or Maharishi Mahesh Rivera.
