I've put together about 5 or 6 of these while watching TV at night or traveling for work (hey, it's the offseason). Maybe I'll keep them going; maybe I won't. If I start to fall off (ETA: or even if I don't, the more, merrier), welcome to keep this going and offer up your own teams.
I started thinking how many players on the currents Nats' squad would make the lineup of the Expos/Nats all-time lineup, and got going from there. In addition to Nats, I've got Yankees, Mets, Orioles, Braves, and Phillies in the can. My rule is that they must have appeared on Baseball Reference franchise list of common players at position at least once. For example, see for the Expos/Nationals. So, Ryan Zimmerman can qualify at both 1B and 3B. While Tim Wallach played some 1B, he only appears on the positional listing at 3B, so he could only qualify as 3B on the lineup.
I'm not doing any sort of order; just what piques my interest. And no set criteria. Partially who I would associate with the franchise and that position the most; partially peak performance; sometimes because I have to respect the 'stache. I will be inconsistent at times.
