I want 60s Torre at catcher to go against 00s Torre as Manger

Also wouldn't Torre be the 90s manager as opposed to the 00s? I'd take him over Cox, then put in La Russa for the 00s maybe?? Not sure on that one one but I don't think it should be Torre

The 90's lineup is just incredible plus they have the best pitching staff

My question is who is the 2nd best all decade team?
The 50's have an incredible lineup but lack 60's pitching
The 70's have some hitters but not great pitching
The 80's is solid all around but not a power team
The 2000's is the best all around after 90's IMO

I tried to spread the managers out to get larussa and cox and torre. But you make good points. Lasorda belongs.

80s team did have some good depth that was left off- Ozzie smith, Boggs, yount, brett, winfield, and a lot of the 90s guys started in the 80s. But I guess u could say the same for all the decades.

Anybody want to attempt to put that '90's team into a lineup?

I don't think there's a wrong answer

I'd love to add Edgar Martinez or Frank Thomas in there as a DH.

2B - Roberto Alomar
SS - Alex Rodriguez
OF - Ken Griffey, Jr.
1B - Mark Mcgwire
OF - Barry Bonds
3B - Matt Williams
OF - Sammy Sosa
C - Mike Piazza

5. A-rod
6. Sosa
7. Piazza
8. Williams
9. Buckeye06

I can't have a guy who only played half the decade over a guy who hit .300 8 times in those 10 years and over .290 all 10. Jeter is also a great fielder and also a leader on a team full of superstars I feel like you may need it
