Here's a specialized team I put together about a year ago (look in the History Forum):


Here's the challenge: make a 25-man team from your franchise where no two players share the same first letter of their last name. Since we have no MLB players with "X" starting their last name, that means one for every possible letter of the alphabet. Players should be considered only for their time with with said franchise, but short tenures may be necessary.

Interestigly enough we can put together some nice teams doing this. See if you can beat mine:

1B - Murray
2b - Grich
SS - Ripken
3B - Brooks
LF - K Williams
CF - B Anderson
RF - F Robinson

SP - Palmer
SP - Mussina
SP - Shocker

SP - McNally

RP - Wilhelm

I ran into problems with Williams because he played 0 games in RF for the Browns, and Nieman a whopping 4 games for the Orioles. I factored that in.

But 4 games > 0, so I can plug Nieman in at RF w/ Williams at LF. Woodling is more of a Yankee anyway.

(Thanks EB -- this is the feedback I was looking for when I started it last year)
