All-time Cleveland Indians team
I said I would do it and here I am. What's your all time Cleveland Indians team? You can choose from 1915-present on who you think were the best players to wear an Indians uni in the careers. Now, I will include 1905-1914 with the Cleveland Naps. The all time Naps thread is a dud and will be shut down.
Here's my all time team, commenting about it is free: 1B: Mike Hargrove 2B: Nap Lajoie 3B: Ed Morgan SS: Lou Boudreau C: Sandy Alomar, Jr. LF: Jeff Heath CF: Kenny Lofton RF: Manny Ramirez Util: Omar Vizquel (SS) (#1 pinch hitter; Boudreau beats him out for SS for me) Jim Thome (1B) (the DH if allowed) Roy Weatherly (OF) Julio Franco (SS) Carlos Baerga (2B) Duane Kuiper (2B) "Shoeless" Joe Jackson (OF) SP: Bob Feller Charles Nagy Bob Lemon (shutouts) Early Wynn Mike Garcia RP/CP: Doug Jones (tons of saves) Willis Hudlin Paul Shuey Ed Klieman Sid Monge Manager: Mike Hargrove (he would be doing both managing and playing)

The Cleveland Naps are now known as the Cleveland Indians, it is the same franchise. The Cleveland (also known as the Bluebirds, the Blues, the Broncos) team has been around since 1901, and any all-time team MUST include 1901-1914 and through today. The Cleveland Spiders (known before as teh Cleveland Forest Citys that played Cincinatti in the first ever professional baseball game) was a National LEague team, but made way for the current franchise in the new Americal League (1901).
The Spiders could have their own thread, but after Cy Young and Lou Sockalexis there wouldn't be much to talk about. My team: 1B: Jim Thome 2B: Nap Lajoie SS: Lou Boudreau (greatest Indian perhaps) 3B: Al Rosen C: Sandy Alomar Jr. OF: Joe Jackson, Manny Ramirez, Albert Belle Bench/Honorable Mention: Omar Vizquel, Kenny Loften, Tris Speaker, Earl Averil, Robbie Alomar, Carlos Baerga, Eddie Murray Pitching: Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Mel Harder, Early Wynn, Cy Young Bullpen: Doug Jones, Jose Mesa, Paul Shuey, Stan Coveleski

Can a mod who is knowledgabke about Tndians history add a poll to this thread? Can you include the Naps players as well?
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.

My all time Tribe team is based on what a player did while with the Cleveland American League franchise between 1901 and 2006. This franchise went by the names of the Blues in 1901, the Broncos in 1902, the Naps from 1903-1914, and the Indians since 1915. IMO, it serves no useful purpose to divide the teams up by the nicknames they adopted in some seasons.
C - Mike Hegan 1B - Hal Trosky 2B - Nap Lajoie 3B - Ken Keltner SS - Lou Boudreau LF - Albert Belle CF - Tris Speaker RF - Manny Ramirez DH - Travis Hafner Bench - Earl Averill, Sandy Alomar Jr., Larry Doby, Jim Thome, Al Rosen, Kenny Lofton SP - Bob Feller SP - Mel Harder SP - Bob Lemon SP - Addie Joss SP - Stan Coveleski RA - Doug Jones Bullpen - Charley Nagy, Willis Hudlin, Bob Wickman, CC Sabathia. Manager - Lou Boudreau Last edited by Ytown Tribe fan; 09-30-2006 at 08:54 PM.
