Managers' Rosters

AG/DC Oct 22 2008 07:52 AM

You build a roster which you associate with a particular manager. When in doubt, go with the guy who isn't more associated with another guy. Yeah, Nino Espinosa and Jerry Koosman perhaps saw a few more total starts than John Pacella, but Espinosa was more of a Joe Frazier-era Met and Koos transended eras, and pitched some of his saddest Metballl under Torre, while Pacella's Met career fit right within Torre's era and was a Brooklyn Itialian. Krane, of course, transended eras also, but his pinch-hitting career overlaps Torre's managerial career nicely. The All-Torre Roster C/1B/3B Stearns C Hodges C/IF Treviņo 1B Montaņez 1B/OF/PH Kranepool 2B Flynn 2B/SS Ferrer SS Taveras 3B Randle IF/OF Maddox LF Henderson CF Mazzilli RF/UT Youngblood OF Boisclair OF Vail OF Norman SP Swan SP Zachry SP Falcone SP Kobel SP John Pacella RP Allen RP Reardon RP Lockwood RP Murray Swingman: Tom Hausman September Callup: Juan Berenguer Get ready to win 64 games!

That's the spirit, though I'm surprised Singleton makes the cut over Sham. Here's the George Bamberger Mets, who look worse on paper, despite two sluggers, than Torre's guys. C: John Stearms (mostly playing hurt) 1b: Dave Kingman 2b: Brian Giles 3b: Hubie Brooks ss: Jose Oquendo lf: George Foster cf: Mookie Wilson rf: Ellis Valentine c: Ron Hodges c: Bruce Bochy if: Bob Bailor 1b/ph: Rusty Staub 1b/of/ph: Mike Jorgenson of/1b/ph: Danny Heep if: Wally Backman sp: Craig Swan sp: Charle Puleo sp: Mike Scott sp: Pete Falcone sp: Randy Jones rp: Neil Allen rp: Jesse Orosco rp: Terry Leach rp: Tom Hausman Swingman: Ed Lynch September Callup: Gary Rajsich, Terry Leach
