I have pretty much the same list, but sub McGwire for the Big Skirt and put in Rivera for Eckersley.

The position players were fairly easy, but it was surprisingly hard to pick a starting pitcher because the great ones were either ending their careers (Seaver and Carlton) or beginning them (Maddox and Clemens)

I’ll do the 70s and 60s soon, but it will be tough to pick between Gibson and Koufax

[Dead Nigga Storage]

Oh man, I'm gonna gut you for not putting guerrero in your list. and clemens pitched for 4 seasons in the 80s. i can understand the exclusion, but i think that's gotta count for something.

I would have both on if I went with three outfielders, but when you build a team, you want the best left fielder, the best center fielder and the best right fielder. They are three different positions. And the Clemens in the 80s, it simply came down to whether I would want 4+ years of him or 10 years of Morris, and I would rather have ten years of Morris
