If you have Armas at 8, he has no protection. I like this one:

1. Raines
2. Murphy
3. Guerro
4. Dawson
5. EDavis
6. Schmidt
7. McGuire
8. Brookens
9. Cox (Because my brother hit a homerun with him, weither or not you beleive me.

favorites? or the best?

my favorites:

1) Hatcher
2) Gibson
3) Herr
4) Rice
5) McGee
6) Doran/DwEvns
7) Gedman
8) SPIKE OWEN, far and away! GO SPIKE!

I don't count all stars in this. In reality, my team should be all Houston and Boston, because they are the only teams I ever use.

Cool question!

Best/worst

1. Raines/Rndlph
2. Gibson/Smith
3. DaEvns/Walling
4. Jackson/Nokes
5. Baylor/Herndn
6. Schmidt/Backmn
7. CDavis/Gllrga
8. Brookn/Sntana
B. McGwire/Davidson

I went with their natural positions in the line-up (ie... I grouped all Bench players together).
The only one of my "worst" players I keep in the line-up is Nokes (the 4 spot is stacked in this game!)

Looks like Gibson is the only Unanimous pick, except for the Owens fan.

I wasn't counting All Stars...but I would have to add Raines and Davis if I was.
