We generally do it in April but since Spring Training has started why not do it now. I am also trying to make a complete team not just power.
7 Rickey Henderson
5 Pete Rose
8 Mickey Mantle
9 Babe Ruth
DH Barry Bonds
3 Lou Gehrig
2 Johnny Bench
6 Ozzie Smith
4 Joe Morgan
Starting Pitcher Bob Gibson
I think I will be able to score some runs and have decent defense. I know I have a nasty power pitcher for help.
I also know there is no correct starting 9 as all of them posted will be decent.

I'm keeping mine to players whose prime was 1960s and later. It's just too hard to compare players from earlier IMO.

This is a minor quibble, but I would much rather have Bonds in the field with Ruth DHing.

Assuming this collects all players in their prime years...
8 - Mike Trout
3 - Albert Pujols
7 - Barry Bonds
5 - Mike Schmidt
DH - Ken Griffey Jr
6 - Robin Yount
4 - Roberto Alomar
2 - Pudge Rodriguez
9 - Ichiro Suzuki
SP - Pedro Martinez
Superb mix of L/H & R/H power and speed everywhere. Superb defense as well which is why I chose someone like Ichiro over Stan Musial. Say what you want about Mike Trout, but all he needs is the longevity and sustain throughout his career. He's already had 2 seasons that are better than any season Rickey Henderson has ever had. Pedro had about a 4-5 year stretch that was as dominant as anyone in the history of the game and his pitbull attitude is contagious.

1) Walter Johnson
2) Johnny Bench
3) Lou Gehrig
4) Rogers Hornsby
5) Brooks Robinson
6) Honus Wagner
7) Ted Williams
8) Willie Mays
9) Babe Ruth
DH) Is this only guys that played DH or is it the best player not in the starting 9? If the former I'll take Edgar Martinez and the latter I'd take Mickey Mantle. Or Barry Bonds, actually 1998- Barry Bonds would be the perfect DH
