Yahoo Article: Build-a-ballclub: The perfect team (1 Viewer)

[Eephus]

Baseball is a fantasy writ large, grown men throwing balls and swinging sticks in front of adoring followers. It is ours to cherish and do with what we please, and that’s what made the following challenge to the Yahoo! Sports baseball writers so invigorating:

Build a dream team.

Not the whole thing. Just the core. This isn’t fantasy baseball as much as fantasy franchise. Pick a GM, a manager, a scouting director. Take any position player, pitcher and prospect. Find the best owner to oversee it all. And explain why.

Link to articleThe scouting director, manager and GM sections are interesting.

I don't agree at all w/ the Cuban, Hamilton and Lester picks.

That Lester pick is brutal, and it's amazing that nobody picked David Wright as a position player.Player-wise, I'd go with Wright and Lincecum, and probably Wieters as my prospect.

How can there not be a single vote for Billy Beane? That's absurd.
