Sub Manny Alexander @ SS
Sub Ryan Minor @ 3B

Now add Rocky Coppinger to the SPs.

Put an * for Gibbons. On the "Juice" he wasn't so bad...

I have waited 38 years for better and am still waiting. They were extraordinary. Add Dobson and you have four 20 game winners. How do you do better then that.

That was the team of my boyhood and I didn't know how lucky I was. Close to an All Time Orioles team. Rettenmund was the fourth OF and Watt was the closer. They were very good, but not on my All Time team. I'd add Mussina and Flanagan to make up a five man rotation. Swap in Cal at SS, Eddie at 1B, Singleton in LF, and Triandos at C. Closer is tougher for me.
