Update March 15
It's been so long and we're yet to have a player done. I just don't see this getting done by Power Pros 09 coming out, or if so, only barely before where its useless. Yet we've done so much work already that I don't want to abandon this, but rather start it again for the 09 Power pros.
Changes:
Catcher: None
First Base: Jimmy Fox is the back-up, Lou Gherig of course is the main first-basemen.
Second Base: None
Short Stop: None
Third Base: Schmidt is the Main Third Base-man, back-up has not yet been decided
Outfield: A few. The main center-fielder has been gived to Ty Cobb over Dimaggio because Ty Cobb is a different type of hitter then anyone else on the team and the perfect lead-off hitter. I have also decided to put Rickey Henderson as the fifth out-fielder (Dimaggio as the fourth) over Willie Mayes for for a similar reason because while he may not be as good, he is a better lead-off hitter and an exelent back-up if Ty Cobb were to get injured. While we may not get to it, it is my intention that Willie Mayes is made as well as Pete Rose, the all-time leader in hits.
Starters: Nothing but I just wanted to announced the long-over due news that Ed Walsh and Mathewson won and will be made. Yet, I believe that we should also make the wildly popular and successful play-off pitcher Walter Johnson as a more then capable back-up and for some one of the top 5 starters. We now just have to determine the other 8 starters to be made.
Relievers: Nothing yet decided except that the previous closer, Mariano, won't be on the team till he retires in two years. I had a change in heart about active-players being on the team.
Introduction:
Last year, a group of several ambitious users attempted to create a team of all the best players to ever play the game. However, as good as the effort was, it was rather an unorganized mess with players hidden in the folds on tens of pages. I wanted to try to give this another try and have a plan this time. Rather then just a thread for hall-of-famers, I hope that we can create a team, an expansion team. Every player will have there own position, from first base to closer. How do we determine these players? By vote! Yes, unless there appears to be a unanimous agreement (as in the case of Babe Ruth, Ted Williams and Lou Gherig), we determine everything democratically. A discussion takes place as we narrow down the vote to anywhere from 2 to 6 candiates. Then, once we have the majority of the players done, we begin to discuss specific stats and abilities for each player until we determine what exactly we want each player to be. then, a certain user is assigned to make the player with the exact requierements, and then we post him up here for everyone to use.
This page will constantly be updated with every new decision, poll, page, player made, or really any event. Soon, we may even have a web page just for this purpose and certainly soon a page on the wiki. Anyone contribution to choosing and making players is more then appreciated and we'd like everyone's help as we make a forum-wide effort to make a virtually unbeatable team of the best players to ever walk on to the stage that is a baseball field.
