If we are grading in terms of just 1 2 and 3 I'd go with

Team 2 - Best
I think the other two are much closer tho. I'd go with team 1 over team 3 tho.

Why do you have Jimmie Foxx on Team 1 at catcher?
And for 1932?

First of all, he didn't play any games at catcher in 1932.
Second, he only played a total of 108 games at catcher out of 2,200 games in his 20-year career.
Foxx played 95% of his games at first base.
Is it because his 1935 Diamond Stars shows him in catcher's gear?

Players are out of position to get them in the lineup, these are the results of a fantasy draft, not just my arbitrary picks.

I mean I think the fact that Machado is on Team 1 and Harper is on Team 3 really hurts them. Why is anyone putting some of the youngest players in the game right now on their all time team??

Keep in mind that they are on their with future seasons (Harper 2016 and Machado 2015) - and they're bench players.

Why no Barry Bonds?

The fourth team in the draft had Bonds but didn't complete a team.

So your drafting based on speculation? I don't get that at all.

I think team two is the best.

What do you like about it vs 1 and 3?

You really cannot go wrong with any team you chose of the three. But I chose three because first off, lets start off with defense and speed. Any team that has Mickey Mantle, especially the Triple Crown winning 1956, super speedy, Mantle and Willie Mays in the outfield is going to make a lot of plays. On top of you have Ichrio in his prime when he was as fast as anyone and had the strongest throwing arm in the MLB. Then your infield you have Alomar, Brooks, and Jeter. Great infield, even with Ted Williams manning first. And you cannot forget about Berra, either.

Then I think from a hitting standpoint, I think it would be the best hitting team of the three. Williams, Mays, Mantle, Ichrio, DiMaggio, Hank Aaron is on the freaking bench!

But what really helped me pick team two was the pitching, in my view was the best as well. Outstanding starting staff, and you have two of the best ever closing it out.

Like I said, you cannot go wrong with any of the three. But I feel team two is the strongest.

Interesting. I think the most fun part of this was finding guys like Hugh Duffy 1894 and Old Hoss Radbourne who had insane seasons that guys like the more famous/recent guys on the lists could never match.
