Just my 2 cents

1b-Prince
2b-Cano
3b-Cabrera (duh)
SS- Desmond
C-Posey
RF- Beltran
LF-Braun
CF-Wonderboy
DH-Encarncion
Bench- Andy Dirks
RHP- R.A. Dickey
LHP- Price
Setup-David Hernandez
Closer- Kimbrell (I refuse to name Tampa's closer)
 
And Dickey over JV, lmao. Even in the NL, Dickey isn't even close. JV's ERA+ is 20 points better.
 
I have a hard time giving respect to knuckleballers, let alone giving them awards. I mean, they don't even know where the damn ball is going, really. They should be the most superstitious people in baseball, because its all luck. I also hated wakefield, dude could have pitched til he was 60, & the ball would have looked the same.
 
Careful, you might increase Ty's tension. Offer your version and risk what he's risking by naming a team.
 
Already did, JV. And I can't imagine how Dirks gets on a list, on any list. And I usually like Ty's threads, he has some great post and information I enjoy but man - Dirks? AJ over Dirks by a mile and a half.

For that matter there are a dozen guys you could take as a bench player over even Ajax.

3B Cabrera

LF Braun
CF trout
RF Stanton

True but my point and I wasn't clear was that even another Tiger would take Dirks spot.


No, you were clear.

I was just saying if you're going to pick a bench player, why would someone like Dirks qualify when you could have someone like Mauer.

I agree. In fact I'd pick a ton players before Dirks.
