Last week, on Twitter, Russell Carleton of Baseball Prospectus suggested a mental exercise of sorts on creating a coherent roster for an MLB team of your choice. Here are the rules as outlined by Carleton.
- Pick one player from each of the last 25 seasons
- No repeated players
- Picks must form a coherent 25-man roster
- Don’t cheat on positions
Here is a St. Louis Cardinals roster I created. Please feel free to argue among yourselves in the comments. This is all in good fun and there are no wrong answers.
