Pete Rose could manage them ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

I bet. ------------------------------- VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

How about Clemens, Scioscia, Mattingly, Sax, Ozzie, Boggs, Strawberry, Griffey, Canseco, and Homer Simpson? ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year.

How can I say this without you jumping into traffic.... I think they are over rated except for Homer Simpson of course. lol ------------------------------- If you are asking me then you are in big trouble.

He’d probably manage them poorly to bet against them... switzr1 wrote: Pete Rose could manage them ------------------------------- If you are asking me then you are in big trouble.

Excellent example!

The one thing most often overlooked in teamsports - team chemistry. The Blue Jays of 1987-1990 vs the Blue Jays of 1991-94 are the perfect example of exactly this; the early bunch played as individuals (Fernandez, Bell, Barfield, Moseby, McGriff), the second group played as a team staying within their lanes (Alomar, Carter, White, Olerud, Winfield/Molitor)

And that team would lack chemistry and a good manager.

That's hilarious, Billy! But I'd have to say NO on the diamond. But the Astros couldn't beat the Warriors on the court either. Who wins in a round of golf or bowling? I'd be interested in seeing that!

Great reply! And THAT TEAM got Homer Simpson in the MLB HOF!!!

I would rather replace Clemens, Strawberry and Canseco though (for obvious reasons).

Yes, the 1990s Yankees had no 50 HR hitters, heck, they made not have had a 40. But the chemistry between Posada, Brosius, Knobloch, O'Neill more than made up for that. Hitting behind the runners and taking pitches for walks. I would take that team any day.

This would make more sense if you were to say that a team of the best available free agents could beat the Astros, which I think is true.
