this is pretty cool:

Baseball Musings Lineup Analysis computes out what a complete team made up of each player would score for a season.

Take the NL MVP race of 2008:

-- A team of 2008 Albert Pujols would score 1,488 runs for a season.
-- A team of 2008 Ryan Howards would score 977 runs for a season.

Or, take the Hall of Fame ballot:

Mark McGwire: 1,199 runs per season.
Rickey Henderson: 953 runs per season.
Jim Rice: 948 runs per season.
Tim Raines: 918 runs per season.
Don Mattingly: 916 runs per season.
Dale Murphy: 880 runs per season.
Dave Parker: 864 runs per season.
Andre Dawson: 837 runs per season.
Alan Trammell: 812 runs per season.

I think they have the team of Jim Rices wrong. They'd only score 162 runs a year. They would be so feared that everyone would forfeit and they would win every game 1-0.
