Your Free Agent Team

[CanadianSox]

Just thought I would have a little fun and see what everyone would consider the best free agent team they could put together.

I think it would be easier to do the starting line-up, three starting pitchers, two relievers and a closer.

http://www.talksox.com/forum/489513-post1.html - list of free agents from another thread.

 

So with that being said here is my line-up.

 

C - Jos? Molina

1st - Carlos Delgado

2nd - Placido Polanco

SS - John McDonald

3rd - Chone Figgins

LF - Matt Holliday

CF - Rick Ankiel

RF - Xavier Nady

DH (Optional) - Hideki Matsui

 

SP - John Lackey

SP - Andy Pettitte

SP - Rich Harden

RP - J.J. Putz

RP - Guillermo Mota

CL - Billy Wagner

-----------------------

My team was picked off of my personal feelings for the players. I didn't look at stats or anything like that. I'm pretty sure I'm biased towards some players (Ankiel, McDonald and Mota) and others probably should have been put there in their place but oh well.

So what do you guys think your free agent team would look like?

The one the Red Sox signed last year.

You put Ankiel over Damon?

You put Ankiel over Damon?

 

Unless I play in NYS, yes. Younger, absolute house for an arm, better power. Ankiel is the better long term option.

BTW how cool would it be to have an actual FA team? They wait until about Febuary to fill out their roster with 1 year deal players. I bet they could beat the Nats LOL

I wonder if there will ever be a big league Grays team. Visiting teams do receive a portion of the gate, but media rights would be a big problem.

 

I betcha they could muster enough to match the Marlins' payroll though.

[Dipre]

Kevin Millwood is not a Free Agent.

[Dojji]

Eh? Looked like it on Cot's. Guess I got fouled up by the option.

 

Switch it to Justin Duchscherer then, or Braden Looper..

[Cocos Disciples]

Michael Barrett is terrible.

 

C-Forfeit. Every FA catcher sucks.

1B-Nick Johnson

2B-Orlando Hudson

SS-Miguel Tejada

3B-Chone Figgins

OF-Matt Holliday

OF-Jason Bay

OF-Johnny Damon

DH-Hideki Matsui

 

SP-John Lackey

SP-Rich Harden

SP-Aroldis Chapman

SP-Ben Sheets

SP-Erik Bedard

 

CP-Jose Valverde

 

Didn't do specific OF positions.

[Dojji]

I can tell why. you're basically putting Damon in center and Holliday in right.

[Cocos Disciples]

No, I'm putting the three best outfielders with no regard to position, because it's not a real team.

I reject your reality, and substitute my own
