Your Free Agent Team

[CanadianSox]

Just thought I would have a little fun and see what everyone would consider the best free agent team they could put together.
I think it would be easier to do the starting line-up, three starting pitchers, two relievers and a closer.
2010 Free Agent List - list of free agents from another thread.

So with that being said here is my line-up.

C - Jos? Molina
1st - Carlos Delgado
2nd - Placido Polanco
SS - John McDonald
3rd - Chone Figgins
LF - Matt Holliday
CF - Rick Ankiel
RF - Xavier Nady
DH (Optional) - Hideki Matsui

SP - John Lackey
SP - Andy Pettitte
SP - Rich Harden
RP - J.J. Putz
RP - Guillermo Mota
CL - Billy Wagner
-----------------------
My team was picked off of my personal feelings for the players. I didn't look at stats or anything like that. I'm pretty sure I'm biased towards some players (Ankiel, McDonald and Mota) and others probably should have been put there in their place but oh well.
So what do you guys think your free agent team would look like?

Where is the entire "low-risk, high-reward team"?

The one the Red Sox signed last year.

Unless I play in NYS, yes. Younger, absolute house for an arm, better power. Ankiel is the better long term option.

BTW how cool would it be to have an actual FA team? They wait until about Febuary to fill out their roster with 1 year deal players. I bet they could beat the Nats LOL

I wonder if there will ever be a big league Grays team. Visiting teams do receive a portion of the gate, but media rights would be a big problem.

I betcha they could muster enough to match the Marlins' payroll though.

[Dipre]

Kevin Millwood is not a Free Agent.

[Dojji]

Eh? Looked like it on Cot's. Guess I got fouled up by the option.

Switch it to Justin Duchscherer then, or Braden Looper..

[Coco's Disciples]

Michael Barrett is terrible.

C-Forfeit. Every FA catcher sucks.
1B-Nick Johnson
2B-Orlando Hudson
SS-Miguel Tejada
3B-Chone Figgins
OF-Matt Holliday
OF-Jason Bay
OF-Johnny Damon
DH-Hideki Matsui

SP-John Lackey
SP-Rich Harden
SP-Aroldis Chapman
SP-Ben Sheets
SP-Erik Bedard

CP-Jose Valverde

Didn't do specific OF positions.

[Dojji]

I can tell why. you're basically putting Damon in center and Holliday in right.

No, I'm putting the three best outfielders with no regard to position, because it's not a real team.

I reject your reality, and substitute my own
