[@YankeesAvenue]

Love the passion in Mike's voice on this topic

[@johng8671]

No Giambi?

[@vgymgy1]

A team like that would go 152-10

[@roncaruso931]

No, it would go 153 and 9.

[@NYSkinsFan82]

Did the DH come from Schenectady??

[@nekad2000]

What about Jason giambi?

[@harryfrezza2563]

Poosh Em Up! So long ago and easy to overlook! Wore No. 6.

[@kevinfinnerty8414]

“Reggie better hit”

[@manuelfilpo6918]

No cano?

[@TheodoreRizzo]

Where you put luis Polonia Mike?

[@fdsuperstar2547]

How about a second team not using the first team u mentioned?

[@roncaruso931]

Just his opinion. Anyone else's list is just as valid.

[@mfdixon1985]

It's a fun game. As a Giants fan... C: Buster Posey (Hitting 2nd) 1B: Willie McCovey (Hitting 5th) 2B: Jeff Kent (Hitting 9th) 3B: Matt Williams (Hitting 7th) SS: Brandon Crawford (Hitting 8th) LF: Barry Bonds (Hitting 4th) CF: Willie Mays (Hitting 1st) RF: Mel Ott (Hitting 3rd) DH: Orlando Cepeda (Hitting 6th) SP: Christy Matthewson SP: Juan Marichal SP: Carl Hubbell SP: Gaylord Perry SP: Tim Lincecum Swing: Madison Bumgarner Closer: Hoyt Wilhelm. Though if you want a more modern closer, I'd feel OK with prime Brian Wilson. He's not Mariano but few teams will rival the Yankees there.

[@MrDeterioration]

Rob Nenn over Brian Wilson.

[@mfdixon1985]

@@MrDeterioration Eh. Both were heart attack closers. I'll take the one that closed out the World Series.

[@quincylloyd1997]

um..mike , ricky ledee in right field..... btw... what's the weather for tomorrow? Thanks i'll hang up and listen.

[@davidcaton6010]

Starting rotation: Christy Mathewson Marichal Antonelli Baumgardner Pretty tight

[@guitarplayer30001]

matt antonelli?

[@81overon]

I don't care how long he played. I would find a place for Don Mattingly. Great player.

[@username-zj9id]

Why not put Mattingly at 1st and DH Gehrig? Mattingly was a MUCH better defender. And why does everyone forget about Rickey Henderson? Not a career Yankee but neither was Reggie. Solves the lead off problem!

[@ellandecampbell6279]

@@username-zj9id It's a joke (though not surprising) that Rickey doesn't get any consideration. He doesn't have longevity with the Yankees, or any "signature" postseason moments, so everything that he'd bring to the table (which would also include opening up the DH spot) is disregarded. Hell, if you put Rickey in the starting lineup, you could still use Reggie as a pinch hitter (especially against righties)

[@username-zj9id]

@@ellandecampbell6279 I would take Rickey over Reggie any day of the week. Reggie was a .263 hitter with power and way too many strikeouts. This team has more than enough power. Rickey could do everything

[@ellandecampbell6279]

@@username-zj9id In his short time with the Yankees, he had 2 different seasons of 20+ home runs & 80+ steals. That's insane. His '85 season is arguably the most underrated season by a player in team history, & I think he should've won the MVP that year

[@username-zj9id]

@@ellandecampbell6279 I agree he was underrated. He was with the team just about as long as Reggie, who is remembered mostly for 1 game.

[@michaelgiovani2600]

That team would have a shot to go undefeated, I would add Hector Lopez.

[@smartyjonez5470]

Where does Jason Guambi fit in

[@GardenLove-yh3rv]

He doesn't. He belongs in steroid city with his druggie friends!

[@davidcaton6010]

Agreed - Jackson played 5 seasons for the Yanks and 9 plus for the A’s

[@davidcaton6010]

rick mann, I’d have to give it to Stengel with Torre, Martin, and Stottelmyre on the staff

[@davidcaton6010]

Plus Joe McCarthy if you get 5

[@jimmybrice6360]

dimaggio is a much more like 2nd man - a line drive type of hitter. mantle has way too much power to put him 2nd. it doesnt matter which order ruth, gehrig and mantle bat. but they are 3-4-5. ruth wasnt much of a fielder, was he ? one might consider making him the dh. if i recall, maris was an excellent fielder, so he could be rf, as a possibility. it boils down to do you want reggie's bat, or roger's glove ? i tend to go with the gloves. speed on the bases is a very minor issue. it may be important for a poor hitting team, but it certainly applies very little with this team !!

[@t206kid]

You can also make a red sox argument with guys like ted williams, jimmie Foxx, Yastrzemski, Boggs, they had ruth too. Manny, papi, Nomar, Joe Cronin, and their pitching over the history was better with guys like lefty Grove, Smokey Joe wood, a better Clemens, Pedro,

[@dadadrew]

No Arod please

[@benjacobs2560]

Cano has better stats than Lazzeri. Way more power.

[@davidrestione2949]

Lazzeri hit 60 HR one season in the minors

[@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781]

​@@davidrestione2949Nobody cares

[@anthonycaruso8443]

Babe could also pitch.

[@josephdovi1565]

Joe Gordon 2nd base

[@mainman127]

154-8

[@albrownfromtheothersideoft3115]

GAW-DEE, for my money it's gotta be GAW-DEE, no question, no question about it, he's a grinda, I trust GAW-DEE, I don't care what the stats say, in a big spot like this, I trust him to get the job done, he's a grinda, he's a grinda and he's a baahmaah no question, hey, folks, he's GAW-DEE, need I say anything more...back aftah this...sip of diet Coke, leans forward, blasts out a gust of wind, another sip of diet Coke...

[@daniredanybo8948]

I'm thinking leave off Reggie and ARod add Winfield and mattingly just great hitters

[@ellandecampbell6279]

Personally, I'd replace Reggie with Rickey Henderson (which would move Mantle to RF, & Babe to DH). If you leave off A-Rod, who's playing 3B?

[@mikeybombers2529]

A rod was a beast just look at the numbers especially early on

[@tomjannace3944]

Arod behind yogi? WHAT

[@ellandecampbell6279]

Here's what I'd do: -Vs. righties: 1) Rickey Henderson (LF); 2) Mantle (RF); 3) Ruth (DH); 4) Gehrig (1B); 5) DiMaggio (CF); 6) A-Rod; 7) Yogi (C); 8) Cano (2B); 9) Jeter (SS). -Vs. lefties: 1) Rickey; 2) Mantle; 3) Ruth; 4) A-Rod; 5) Gehrig; 6) DiMaggio; 7) Jeter; 8) Yogi; 9) Willie Randolph (2B).

[@harringtonbenton334]

I had the YANKEES in a CADACO ALL-STAR "ALL-TIME" BASEBALL League. YEAH! With the Player Discs and the Spinner Dial!!! 1. JETER SS 2. CANO 2B 3. MANTLE RF 4. RUTH IF 5. GEHRIG 1B 6. DIMAGGIO CF 7. RODRIGUEZ 3B 8 BERRA C 9. NO DH Yes this team has tremendous power. But the problem was lots of strike outs. Inability to move runners. Not a lot of singles or extra base hits. I found myself waiting a lot for the Big HR but often times it came with the bases empty. Now look at the ALL-TIME REDS. 1. ROSE LF 2. MORGAN 2B 3. GRIFFEY JR CF 4. KLUZUSKI 1B 5. BENCH C 6. PEREZ 3B 7. FOSTER RF 8. LARKIN SS 9. NO DH Many more extra base hits. A lot less strike outs. Ability to steal bases. And there were always runners on base when they hit HRs

[@iamtman1]

Yankees crush the Reds here. Nice try though.

[@bigsweaty8088]

Reggie better hit or Im batting Canseco, okay?

[@bigsweaty8088]

@A Rebel With A Cause I mean, lets be honest,folks

[@njambassador4422]

Too bad there's no space to have Ricky Henderson leading off.

[@davidcaton6010]

Neither is Reggie

[@SportsGerbil]

Reggie better hit? Is this actually happening? LOL

[@jjklkldjsfggffg9134]

ARod over Nettles? I wouldn't even put him over Brosius.

[@brendan3297]

then you don’t know shit about baseball

[@AROD-ko9qs]

A-Rod won 2 MVP's with the Yankees. 2005 and 2007. Look at the numbers he put up in 2007. A-Rod's season in '07 was STATISTICALLY PROVEN to be one of the best hitting seasons by any Yankee ever. Your just biased because you don't like A-Rod.

[@GregMets2345]

This wins most ridiculous comment of the year.

[@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781]

​@@AROD-ko9qsHe was never clutch though for the majority of his time.

[@davidcaton6010]

Giants heart of the order is close: Mays Bonds Ott McCovey Posey And that’s righty, lefty, righty, lefty, righty Almost as many home runs and way more stolen bases

[@TheKran14]

Not even close to the Yankees.

[@johnre5342]

Dave Kingman. Lol. Just kidding

[@cbarrett34]

Dave Winfield was better than Reggie

[@johnre1514]

Reggie was a better power hitter and a more clutch player in the big games.

[@davidcaton6010]

A Rod is not a Yankee

[@AROD-ko9qs]

Why is that? He won 2 MVP's with the Yankees. 2 monster seasons. He won the postseason MVP in '09 when the Yankees won the world series. Your biased

[@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781]

​@@AROD-ko9qs"you are biased" - says guy with A ROD as his username 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Can't make it up lol.

[@GoldenFava]

Love Jeter, but you have to give up either him or Lazzeri to put Ricky Henderson in the 1…he’s not just a Yankee 1, he’s an all MLB, all time 1

[@ellandecampbell6279]

I've got Rickey leading off, with Jeter dropping to the bottom of the order. I also have Cano & Wille Randolph platooning at second, with Lazzeri as a utility guy off the bench (second, third & short)

[@iamtman1]

LOL henderson has no place in the lineup. Jeter is the starting SS easily on the all time Yankee team. Henderson was an outfielder. Who are you replacing for him?? Joe D, Mantle, Ruth? lol.

[@Dewitt-b8n]

I don’t love reggie

[@Grizzlied555]

Roidrigez?! Are you serious?! A drug cheat?! Your list is null and void!
