1. I like it, but I'd take Ichiro over Guerrero.
That would be a Hell of a team though, huh?

12. Absolutely! I thought the same thing! And --pretty likely no steroids for Ichiro.

6. Fair enough.
I might take Francona over Torre, but it's close. Not sure about Schilling, either, although he was money in the big games, I guess.

9. I'm Sure About Schilling
He's grossly overrated. And, he didn't pitch in all that many big games. I think he's a world-class self-promoter and that's why the "big game" reputation stuck.

He doesn't belong on this list.

7. Is this the all-steroid team?
What's Baroid doing on there? I mean look at that pic of him on that link....his face is swelled up like a fuckin' balloon. A very common side effect of steroid use. Of course, SI has always sucked as a magazine so I'm not surprised by this. And why is that douchebag Schilling on there?

I do like Forkboy's suggestion of Ichiro...good call. Guerrero would be a much better hitter if he didn't swing at so many pitches way out of the strike zone.

10. What sucks is that three of those guys came up in the Twins
and only one of them has stayed. Harumph.

13. Technically, but no one follows it
It would kind of sound ridiculous to call 1930 the 20's.
