Pretty good squad there! Just from first impressions, I might make a few changes: I'd leave off Guerrero, move the great Ichiro to RF, and insert Torii Hunter in CF. Also, I'd create a utility position, move Young into it, and as much as it absolutely KILLS me to say this, I guess I'd move A-Fraud to 3B. And it does kill me to say that! Also, either Scioscia, LaRussa, or Francona would be my manager.

Great lists, guys, but along with considering Joe Girardi the pinnacle of 2000s managers ermm.gif , I must respectfully disagree on the LHP position. Give me Jamie Moyer.
CrankThatCrabtree
hey don't hate on 2006 NL manager of the year Joe Girardi.... how do you get fired after winning manager of the year?
cheaptrick77
^ but the best Best Manager of the 2000s ? ? ?
stoneykelly
this is going to make me look horrible as both a baseball & yankee fan. it was supposed to be torre not girardi. my hands were typing faster than my brain on that one.

I change my left handed starter to Johan Santana.

The only trouble I had, was choosing Left Field. Manny or Barry, they both have * by their names. That's what is sad.

With all due respects to Cheaptrick77, Jamie Moyer couldn't do this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KteP6k1wg94

Baseball is a talking sport:

Randy Johnson 143-78 Cy Young winner, World Series Champion, and one losing season in 2003.

Jamie Moyer 151-108, He played on the 2003 team that won 116 games, when he was 23-7. In the decade of the 00's he had 4 losing seasons.

I don't care for ferret face, but that's why I went with him. flowers.gif The video is a memorable moment, in Randy's career. There wasn't anything intended, but for some humor.
