All Time Greatest Team

Using the composite scores, I have put together the greatest team from this universe. For all positions I used the method I think should be used by the software in designating the positions of HOFers. That method involves checking to see if the player played more games in the IF or OF. If the player played more games as an IFer, then he is assigned the IF position he played the most. If he played more games as an OFer, then he is assigned the position in the OF he played the most.

I know, you can shuttle players between positions, especially in the OF, but for this fun little exercise I locked each player into one position. I chose to call the 9th hitter slot DH/PH/sub because the composite scores does take fielding into account and that the player who has the highest composite score second to another at a position may not necessarily be the best pure hitter remaining, but he has value as a fielder, also.

The number accompanying each player is his composite score

C - Tex Erwin, 10.3
1b- Willie Stargell, 9.4
2b- Nap Lajoie, 9.3
3b- Eddie Mathews, 5.6
SS- Rogers Hornsby, 13.5
LF- Zack Wheat, 7.5
CF- Shoeless Joe Jackson, 14.4
RF- Frank Robinson, 14.1
DH/PH/sub- Ty Cobb, 14.3

Rotation
Charlie J Ferguson, 9.9
Lefty Grove, 8.1
James Burke, 8.1
Bobby Mathews, 6.7
Sandy Koufax, 6.6
