The umpires are going to screw nyjunc, I can feel it. :up:

[Learn To Swim]

I just got a hold of Drew's roster today so I'm trying my ass off to get a breakdown done. Here's the infield:

Catcher: Gabby Hartnett (1922-1941)

Perhaps the best NL catcher of the pre-WWII era, Hartnett was good defensively but great with the bat.
With a career SLG of .489 and an OPS+ 126, he was a force that carried his Chicago Cubs to multiple World Series appearences.
Durability was not an issue for Hartnett, who was actually more productive after reaching his 30s.
Best season: His 1930 MVP year in which he posted a .339/.404/..630 line with 37 HR and 122 RBI.

1st Baseman: Mark McGwire (1986-2001)

McGwire was the quintessential slugger of the 1990s HR era: A lot of walks, a lot of Ks and an assload of home runs.
And while he may not be here to talk about the past, I am. In 1987, he burst onto the scene as a 23 year old rookie in Oakland by hitting a league leading 49 HRs with a #1 SLG of .618.
He would not match those numbers again for about 8 seasons, as the young star would mix together good and bad seasons while still maintaining top-5 HR power.
After losing most of 1993 and 1994 to injuries, *something* reinvigorated the Big Mac who had a solid bounceback year in 1995 before unleashing one of the most fearsome 4-year runs in baseball history.
Mark would crush 245 home runs from 1996-1999 between Oakland and St. Louis, breaking the single season HR mark along the way.
All-in-all, McGwire was a great middle of the order hitter. He led the majors in home runs and SLG% four times each and finished with 583 HR (7th best) and a career OPS+ of 163 (tied for 11th best).
Best season: The memorable summer of 1998, where Big Mac hit a then-record 70 HRs while also leading the league in OPB (.470), SLG (.752), walks (an insane 162) while driving in 147 runs.

2nd Baseman: Charlie Gehringer (1924-1942)

A 2nd baseman so reliable he was dubbed "The Mechanical Man", Gehringer played an instrumental role to 3 pennant winners and a World Series championship team in Detroit.
Gehringer was a plus-defensive player with no glaring weakness in the field, or for that matter, at the plate.
He was a mainstay at the top of the league leaderboards in AVG and OBP, games player, runs, hits, and walks.
Additionally, he had decent speed, could hit for extra bases (574 career doubles, 146 triples), and surprisingly proficient at driving in runs (1427 on his career).
Gehringer projects as a very good #2 hitting in an all-time lineup because his outstanding ability to get on base (career .404 OBP), be it through hits (2839) or walks (1156), and a low K rate.

3rd Baseman: Ron Santo (1960-1974)

A Cubs legend, Santo was a great defensive 3rd baseman and a great hitter as well.
Santo drew a ton of walks and was good for all sorts of extra-base hits.
Santo had a career OBP of .362, and OPS+ of 125, and slugged 342 home runs.

Shortstop; Derek Jeter (1995-current)

OMG BEST PLAYA EVAH TOTAL HOTTIEZ 2 AND HE'Z TEH CLUTCH
Ok, now that that's off my back, lets cut to the chase.
Derek Jeter can hit the ball and hit it pretty damn well. In 10 seasons, he's batted over .300 seven times with a career low of .291, which is pretty impressive.
His OBP is an unspectacular but effective .386 and his career OPS+ is a solid 121.
Jeter's power and speed are good-but-not-great for a middle infielder, shown by his 169 HR and 215 SB.
BUT HEZ GOT TEH INTANGABULLZ!!!1
