What is your all-time Indians team?

[RuthMayBond]

Whats your all-time Indians team? With the DH, and 1 SP, 1 closer. I just want the starters.

1b-Jim Thome
2b- Napoleon Lajoie
SS- Lou Boudreau
3b- Al Rosen
of-Earl Aveill
Tris Speaker
Joe Jaclkson
c-Jim Hegan
P-Bob Feller
DH-Albert Belle
RP-Ray Narleski

Considering that 5 of these guys were on a team that had for a while the AL record for wins and all but Lajoie , Jackson and Averill were on pennant winners, which is hard to find in Cleveland I think you have a decent team there.

I tried to drop the poll but they keep showing up, so this needs to be deleted too :grouchy

[B.White]

Since you did not list any parameters, I used my own regarding peak/career. I used a combination of both leaning toward peak.

In no particular order.

Joe Jackson RF
Tris Speaker CF
Albert Belle LF
Lou Boudreau SS
Al Rosen 3b
Nap Lajoie 2b
Jim Thome 1b
Victor Martinez C
Manny Ramirez or Rocky Colavito DH (no real preference)
Wes Ferrell SP (do not underestimate either his pitching peak or his bat).
No preference for closer.

Charlie Jamieson would make a good reserve on this team, too.

Personally, I'd like to see a full 25 man roster, including bench players, a starting rotation and a bullpen when it comes to all-time teams. That's just my way of deciding it...
