If you were starting a team today......

I’m surprised Ted Williams hasn’t been mentioned yet. At any rate, he’s who I’d pick, though if I had to stick to the list, Trout.

Yea Williams , Cobb and Ruth May make my top 3 (not in that order) and none are mentioned.

Going to be a homer and go with Stan Musial! Mays would be my second choice.

[Huysmans]

Mantle hands down, its not even a contest
I'm surprised others were mentioned

Of those mentioned, Mays. Otherwise, Williams. Imagine Ted playing in the days of the 162 game schedule, with all the expansion (watering down the league's pitching talent), and not missing 5 years to military service.

Mantle didn't take care of himself; that self-destructive behavior puts him below a Mays or Williams in my book.

My position player would be Mays
My pitcher would be Gibson or Feller
