    Wow, that pitching staff sucks, they'd have to score 8 runs per game.

    Bannister has to be a starter as does Billingham (at least the Reds version) . Bob Bruce was very good for a bad team in 1964.

    Biggio is probably the best catcher, but he was so much better at 2B that I'd take Biggio and Bako (or anyone else) vs Biggio and 2nd best 2B.
