This is what I thought it was about also...

It was the first thing that came to mind when I read the thread title so thought it would be fun to post even though it's unrelated.

Forget team chemistry. This lineup would probably have the highest ever home run total, and be a basement dwelling team. I'd imagine each night, ESPN would be filled with footage of disagreements from the dugout.

I could actually probably put together 3-4 equally potent lineups with many different players, but these guys really stood out to me. It was hard not putting in Ruth, Williams, DiMaggio, Mantle, Schmidt, Ozzie, Bo, Thomas, etc. but the heart wants what the heart wants. I had to fight back my desire to just put in the 1989 World Series A's lineup. As you can see, Canseco is hitting 4th, which is purely for selfish reasons, so he could get in some awesome ABs.

1) LF - Henderson
2) 3B - ARod
3) DH - Canseco
4) RF - Bonds
5) 1B - McGwire
6) CF - Griffey
7) SS - Jeter
8) 2B - Jackie Robinson
9) C - Posey

SP - Pedro Martinez
RP - Eckersley

I'm not knowledgeable enough but if someone who put together a prospect all bust team, I'd love it

C-Yadi Molina
1b-Jeff Bagwell
2b-Craig Biggio
SS-Barry Larkin
3b-Nolan Arenado
Lf-Barry Bonds
Cf-Ken Griffey Jr
Rf-Vladimir Guerrero
Rhp-Tim Wakefield
Lhp-Randy Johnson
Closer-Rod Beck

I only wanted to use players I watched a lot of, so none of those monsters from 70s and before. I tried to avoid going heavy on Red Sox guys as well. Third was probably my toughest choice, I hesitated with Arenado because he's still relatively young and passing over guys like Rolen, Beltre and Chipper was tough. Beck is definitely my.kost out there choice but he reminded me a lot of that Yankees pitcher in Major League, plus...that stache was epic.

No Mike Schmidt?

It's the 2008 World Series team that was listed.

I'll go with players that I grew up watching:

1B - Pujols
2B - Cano
3B - Boggs
SS - Ripken Jr.
C - Mauer
LF - Henderson
CF - Trout
RF - Vlad
DH - Thomas

SP - Maddux
Johnson
Martinez
Kershaw
Scherzer

RP - Rivera

Now if we are supposed to go with any players from any time period, then my list would look quite different with just a few remaining from whom I've watched.

C Jesus Montero
1B Travis Lee
2B Gregg Jefferies
3B Drew Henson
SS Benji Gil
LF Ben Grieve
CF Lastings Milledge
RF JD Drew
P Brien Taylor
P Todd Van Poppel
P Mark Prior
P Bryan Bullington

Drew? Harsh grading putting a RF with 45.9 career fWAR including an 8 win season on the bust list. That puts him in the top 40 RF of all time. I know he didn't live up to the hype (nobody could have) but he had a damn fine career.
