I'm mostly in agreement with mojo's team. However, I would move Sheffield over to left (where he played almost 5 times as many games in a Dodgers uniform) . That would also free up right field for Shawn Green.

you mean his all-80s/90s LA team? haha.... he has neglected a majority of the old LA pitching (except for obvious HoF'ers).
no Jim Brewer? not even a Tom Niedenfuer? Marshall was good, but more on durability and not a dominat closer.
Landreaux!? ...where is Howard? Or Dick Allen? or Ron Fairly!? lol. I'd take T-Bone or Kal Daniels over Landreaux. ;)

You're right, Kalvoski was an oversight on my behalf. But Tom Needahomer? I can't really forgive him for serving up that fat one to the Wizard. Maybe I shouldn't be too harsh on the man.
What, you wanted me to include Claude Osteen in my rotation?

Can a mod who is knowledgabke about Dodgers history add a poll to this thread? Can you also include Brooklyn players?
I want the results for the All-Time position by position battle. I have a thread about it in the history forum if you're interested.

Everyone seems to have forgotten Wes Parker @ first base. He was a fantastic glove man and turned himself into a pretty good hitter.

Since this is an LA Dodgers forum, we should only talk about players who wore the jersey from 1958-present. There is a Brooklyn Dodgers forum here (the second-most popular team forum here, I might add), so if you want to talk about pre-1958 players, you're more than welcome to discuss Brooklyn players there.
I guess we could do a positional battle here, but it would only be for players after 1958. No Jackie Robinson, no Roy Campanella, no Zack Wheat.
