This was definitely the easiest starting eight so far. <br /><br />Take a look at Cleveland Indians center fielders if you want to talk about logjam. The starter will be easy, but after that...oy vey. By WAR, four of the top eight players in that team's history played that position.Left Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096253129121716274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230895.post-80670132980202428032012-05-09T14:18:56.068-04:002012-05-09T14:18:56.068-04:00There's something beautiful about the balance ...There's something beautiful about the balance of that lineup. If we're willing to discount Dahlen a little because of his era without docking Anson too much, we could make a strong case that the eight best position players in Cubs history played eight different positions. No Williams/Yaz or Mantle/Dimaggio kerfuffles or positions like third base on the Dodgers where we have to settle for Ron Cey. Even the outfielders are all in their true position. Nice work.Bryanhttp://replacementlevel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
