Homer or not it's a valid point.

 

[TexasMan]

Homer or not it's a valid point.

When arguably the best right handed batter of the past 20 years is batting 6th in your line up, then maybe we'll start the discussion.

I still can't believe one of the Indians teams from the '90's didn't win a World Series.
Just goes to show that great pitching always wins in the playoffs.

Here's my non-homer pick:
1975-76 Reds.

1. C Johnny Bench
2. 1B Tony Perez
3. 2B Joe Morgan
4. SS Dave Concepcion
5. 3B Pete Rose
6. LF George Foster
7. CF Cesar Geronimo
8. RF Ken Griffey Sr.

Non-Homer
Jeff Blauser SS
Chipper Jones 3B
David Justice RF
Fred McGriff 1B
Ryan Klesko LF
Javy Lopez C
Marquis Grissom CF
Mark Lemke 2B

and then: Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, and Mark Wohlers

The Braves line-up was really good, their pitching staff just put them over the top

The Rangers lineup this year is not a homer pick though, its very solid

You're just mad cause you're an Astros fan.

Agreed, but not better than the 95 Indians

The one I posted, supposedly.

No way...

Yea that can't be right. I can't find it anywhere else though.
