That '94 expos team was the shite.

I love me some Larry Walker. I wanted a place for Dante Bichette, because I loved that dude's swing, but he wasn't quite good enough.

C - Carlton Fisk; Mauer is catching up, though
1B - John Olerud or Todd Helton
2B - Ryne Sandberg
3B - Mike Schmidt
SS - Omar Visquel
RF - Ichiro Suzuki
CF - Kirby Puckett
LF - Bo Jackson
DH - Edgar Martinez

SP - Greg Maddux
SP - Johann Santana
SP - Randy Johnson
RP - Trevor Hoffman

If there was a bench, it would be filled with guys like Larry Walker, Griffey Jr., and Bonds. Fantastic players one and all, but it always struck me as a bit like rooting for Goliath with some of those guys. Pitching Bench would be Pedro, Schilling, and Joe Nathan

I don't really have a favorite for every position, but I do know that Mark Grace is my favorite 1B, Jose Canseco was my favorite DH, Kerry Wood is my favorite pitcher and Jim Edmonds was my favorite outfielder.
