Lite team: Singles and low power guys:

1B: Mark Grace
2B: Nellie Fox
SS: Luis Aparicio
3B: Pete Rose
C: Mike Sciosia
RF: Lou Brock
CF: Richie Ashburn
LF: Curt Flood
P: Who cares...

Heavy team: Fat guys--doesn't mean they can't play, just can't win any body building contests.
C: Smoky Burgess (Someone's fat uncle the pipe-fitter)
1B: John Kruk (looked like he should be playing in a beer league)
2B: Hornsby (best of a weak field; known for downing huge amounts of red meat and sleeping prodigiously)
3B: ? I can't think of any; maybe Appling when he got old?
SS: Wagner
RF: Ruth (ballooned up nicely in the later years)
CF: Fatty Fothergill (for the nickname alone)
LF: Tony Gwynn (must've been eating at Roberto's too much; S.D. Mexican chain)
P: Wilbur Wood (pudgy fat)
P: Mickey Lolich (pitched better as he gained weight)
P: David Wells (anyone who retorts to comments about his weight by saying he never saw anyone on the DL with pulled fat has to be on the list)
