steveAssume for a moment that the object is to go through a theoretical season with a teamful of all-time greatest players. Then eventually to win the World Series.
Big time pitchers usually shut down big time hitters. That said, the first four choices for my "Greatest" team would be the best 4 to the rotation starting pitchers.
My pitchers would shut down the likes of Ruth, Gehrig, Mays and the gang.
1. Satchel Paige
2. Walter Johnson
3. Lefty Grove
4. Nolan Ryan
Heck, your hitters could be looking at shutouts every night.
Pitchers may very well be the Greatest players.
