All "Franks" Team

Here now I, the Beloved Commish, present a list of the best of the best by position in our crazy, nutty, perhaps even, dare I say, madcap world. Starting at the pivotal role of catcher for the SMBPF All Franks Team is
Julius Neal
Jacksonville
Jimmies
Age: 24B/T: R/R
Born: Brooklyn, NY
Position(s): C/1B

A second pick overall in season 1 by the missed sagacious (respect), was ridiculously traded to the Jimmies in season 5, and helped Jacksonville win the WS. Tremendous hitter and very capable behind the plate and handling pitchers. Perhaps the single most valuable player in our world.

Covering first base:
Albert Cairo
Austin
Argonauts
Age: 28B/T: R/R
Born: Bani, DO
Position(s): 1B/OF/DH

The World's all time leader in HRs, RBIs, SBs, slugging percentage, runs, and others. Close with Dizzy Allen, but I put him as DH.

At second base another close call, but if I pick:
Alejandro Lee
Hartford
Insurance Men
Age: 22B/T: S/R
Born: LaConcepcion, VE
Position(s): 2B/CIF/OF/DH

An IFA in season3. Signed for 22.6 million buckaroos. I'd say rushed to the show, but is rounding into a potential, perennial
MVP candidate.

At shortstop, I'd want to send out:
Pedro Aguilera
Trenton
Enforcers
Age: 25B/T: S/R
Born: Central Tinguaro, CU
Position(s): SS/3B/2B/OF/DH

A little Jeterish on defense, but 'roid aided Tejada-like offense, especially power.

At third I'd send out "Sarge" as he's now known to his teammates according to me:
Aaron Spahn
Colorado
Swingers
Age: 26B/T: R/R
Born: Florence, CO
Position(s): SS/IF/OF/DH

A great combination of defense and batting prowess, a rocket arm and very capable bat. Could win Gold Gloves and Silver sluggers for seasons to come.

manning the fence in left would be:
Rick Halama
Jacksonville
Jimmies
Age: 33B/T: R/R
Born: San Bernardino, CA
Position(s): LF/CIF/2B/OF

He's getting up there one of the world's all-time hit leaders is still producing.

Patrolling centerfield would be Flash "The cash, Mr. smallmouth" Bass:
Flash Bass
Cincinnati
Red Thumpers
Age: 25B/T: L/L
Born: Newland, NC
Position(s): CF/1B/OF/DH

2nd pick in season 3, having a monster season currently. Decent in the field with huge power, and good speed.

Rightfield may be this World's most inglorious position. Rob Dickerson, a three time MVP, would have been a shoe in a couple seasons ago but his position has been handed over to:
Carlos Diaz
New York
Yankees
Age: 25B/T: R/R
Born: Jarabacoa, DO
Position(s): RF/1B/2B/LF/DH
View Hardball Dynasty Profile


Could win an MVP if everything fell into place but as is, Diaz will win many silver slugger and all star accolades.

My DH: would have to be:
Dizzy Allen
Tucson
Terrors
Age: 25B/T: L/L
Born: Danbury, TX
Position(s): 1B/RF/DH

First overall pick in season 2. Power, eye, speed. Will win an MVP at some point.

There are a great deal of upper echelon candidates at every position, I made my picks based on defense and offense ratings, total career stats and current stats, as well as whatever potential there may be.

My starting pitcher would be:
Chris Matthews
Buffalo
Wooden Nickle
Age: 34B/T: R/R
Born: Edmond, OK
Position(s): P (SP1)

I think I picked another pitcher over Matthews last season in my pitcher rankings, but he continues to dominate.

There were many great pitchers to choose from, a lot on Oakland's staff. KC's Jumbo Long was my second pick and Oakland's Morgan Brow third.

That's it. Feel free to comment and/or critique on the chat. When i get a chance I'll do each franchise's best draft pick next.
