Posted on 3/5/26 at 3:47 pm
The Griffey thread got me thinking, with baseball almost back whose the starting lineup, 5 man rotation and closer you've gotten to watch that you'd put together? I'm in my early 40s so can't put in Aaron or so someone like that.
C. Ivan Rodriguez
1. Jeff Bagwell
2. Biggio or Altuve
SS. A Rod
3. Chipper
LF Ricky
CF. Griffey
RF Bonds
DH Gwynn
Clemens
Maddux
Pedro
Johnson
Ryan (my first idol)
Closer, Billy Wagner

Could probably just name the best players from 1997 to 2013
8 year old me would have said
Brad Ausmus
Tony Clark
Damien Easley
Deivi Cruz
Juan Encarnacion
Dean Palmer
Gabe Kepler
Bobby Higgins
Went to countless Tigers spring training games and thought those guys were the coolest
