djmelbatoast Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I just watched a video of the 92 World Series and I started thinking. If you could pick any Blue Jays to be on a all-time team who would you pick?Here's mine:C: Pat Borders1B: Carlos Delgado2B: Roberto Alomar3B: Kelly GruberSS: Tony FernandezLF: Joe CarterCF: Veron WellsRF: Shawn GreenDH: George BellSP: Roy HallidaySP: Dave SteibSP: Jimmy KeySP: Pat HentgenSP: Roger ClemonsCP: Duane WardRP: Paul QuantrilRP: Mark Eichorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Alot of similar picks for me but I would need the gun of Jesse Barfield in Right, Devon White in Centre and have Ward be the set up man to Tom Henke... and where is Dennis Lamp in relief with his 11 and 0 season?

afro poppa Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I would put John Olerud over Delgado...and Instead of Shawn Green put Jesse Barfield.Also, Alfredo Griffin over Tony Fernandez...i think.And I agree with POG, Henke as the closer with Ward as my setup guy...

Booche Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 For a guy with a Blue Jays avatar, you sure puzzle me with the Olerud call and the Griffin one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Fuck, did I ever love Jimmy Key. I still remember that tip of the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 i'd call olerud too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Jack Morris is one of my starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Nice one Jaimoe. I would have put David 'i loved his action but he didnt put up the best numbers' Cone in there if I could find a spot but you just filled it. POG has also filled my set-up/closer as well as my right fielder. Jesse Barfield's arm? Are you fucking kidding me? That was one of the most deadly howitzers I have ever seen!Oh yeah, with Paul Molitor at DH. George's attitude once that idea was proposed to him still stings. I'ld kiss his purple butt.By the way:Roy Halladay (sorry djmelba, it's a pet-peeve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Obviously Damaso Garcia and his scorched jersey should be on 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 For a guy with a Blue Jays avatar, you sure puzzle me with the Olerud call and the Griffin one. Olerud won two WS and a batting title (as well as leading the league in a couple other categories...in 93) with the Jays. Don't get me wrong, Delgado is one of my favourite players ever, but the guy never saw the playoffs in a Jays uniform...those two rings are bigger than any personal accomplishments Delgado could achieve. As far as Griffin, I think that's just a judgement call...but after going to look at his stats I am going to change it back to Fernandez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 If there was ever a pinch hit situation. I would want Mookie Wilson in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 George wasn't known as a DH, so Molitor would be a perfect sub on Dima's list.Ward had the best stuff in the Jays history coming out of the bullpen and was virtually unhittable, but his slider killed his career. Henke had more longevity so he gets my vote for closer, even though he drove me nuts.The Jays had some great first basemen. Crime Dog, Olerud, Fielder and Carlos.No one will ever touch that fucking puke Alomar talent-wise. He's the most dominant position player in team history, with respect to Delgado.Barfield is my right-fielder. Green has never lived up to his potential.

djmelbatoast Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Green, when he played for the Jays, was amazing. Afterwards not so much. I picked Bell for DH mostly because I had already picked Carter for LF.Here I thought the most controversial pick would be Borders instead of Whitt.P.S. Jamoie, please don't call me Dima.

afro poppa Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 nah I think there's no contest between Borders and Whitt...remember that 92 series? Borders was DYANAMITE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 The Jays had some great first basemen. Crime Dog, Olerud, Fielder and Carlos.Fielder.... Cecil Fielder? "Great first baseman?"He could hit, but could he run or field? Or throw? He only played 82 games in his most busy year with Toronto. His best year (besides his first where he only appeared in 30 games) was 87 where he batted .269I dunno - strange statement. I like a lot of wierd stuff too though, so it's cool.

AD Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 hehe, if cecil got just a bit bigger he could have rolled. he started getting recognised after the jays traded him. i did like him at the time too though, he had charisma.did you like how i pulled out those stats though? whew.

dave-O Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Tony Fernandez makes this team by virtue of his patented slap-bunt alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Id go one step further and say his stance alone is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'll go another further step and say he deserves it for those deep balls in the pocket that he would 'fling' to first across his body as he was still running in the opposite direction. Glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
