I used to do this all the time as a kid, and, since I don't really frequent the sports forum that much, I see you have some similar threads going with the six players you'd start a team with thread.

So, give me you all mlb lineup, in a batting order.

Then give your five starting pitchers.
Then give me your bullpen
Then give me your bench.-

Only catch is you can't move players around. Like you can't put Arod back at ss. You can move starting pitchers into the bullpen.

Oh, and there is a DH, because I can't see the pitcher hitting in my most awesome lineup.

Oh, and I'm no Peter Angelos, so I don't have a budget.

Fine, don't give it to me, mine would pawn all of yours anyhow.

i'm glad to see some indians on there

Well since this Red Sox team may be one of the best teams in the history of baseball..... we don't need to change much. But I did make some very MINOR changes and this is what I came up with. This may be closer to what we see next year actually!

THANK YOU! I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for taking anyone else at 1st. Yeah, he's one of my favourite players, so I'm a bit biased, but he's .353/6/27/ and playing on the best team in baseball.

Zumaya is on the DL until August you Jackass.

There is no excuse for Magglio Ordonez not starting on all of these line-ups.

Yeah, he's having a fantastic start.

Not a lot of Becketts or Dice-Ks...mmmm?

I see the Boston folks are just as annoying here as they are on PJ Chat.

It's easy to be annoying when you have quite possibly the best team in the history of baseball

I find it interesting that Albert Pujols can't even crack the bench on these teams...he's only the best player in baseball.

How should Pujols crack these lineups? Based on performance so far, he isnt in the top 10 first basemen based on the season so far.

Should read "Best group of complete fucking assholes in the history of Baseball"

good one

It's cool. Your pitching has been amazing. Carrying your lineup.
