For fun, pick a team and create a theme team.
-
If you feel like participating, pick any team and put together your best dream team based on cards available in the game as of now. You can pick players that wear that jersey only if that's how you roll, or any player who once caught a baseball with that team. Doesn't matter, it's your team.
Just curious what types of theme teams people are using. I'll post one in a moment.

Sp: Nolan Ryan, Mike Scott, Ron Guidry, Greg Maddux, and Orel.
Bullpen: Eckersly, Plesac, Tom Henke, Rob Dibble, Rich Gossage, Bruce Sutter, are what I got. I think I need more but those are the only relievers I have.
C - Craig Biggio, I have his 89 card on display by my monitor
RF - Darryl Strawberry
LF - Rickey Henderson (sadly I have the Yankees one, not the one in the game)
CF Ken Griffey JR.
SS - Ozzie Smith
2B - Ryne Sandburg
3B - Mike Schmidt
1B - Don mattingly
That’s my 89 Topps team build. I have all these cards irl lol -

Oh I bet,
Joe Morgan, Eric Davis, Nick Castellanos, Joey Votto, Eugenio Suarez, Barry Larkin Johnny Bench, not sure off the top of my head who the third outfielder would be but those are all in Reds uniforms. I'm sure if you open it up to anyone who ever played there, you'd have many more options. -

I don't hit well with Ozzie so I sat him for the Wild Card game version of Edman.

The Rockies are pretty fun offensively. Arenado, Story, DJ, Helton, Vinny, Bichette, Walker, Fowler isn’t bad.
Be amazing if they still had rights to Cargo and Tulo.

Oh yeah, that's pretty loaded right there. Holliday would be fun to hit with too, wish they had him.

I think I'm gonna do the exact sane thing. I like Torre on the bench since he can play C but I rake with him but it would be nice to put him in the lineup from time to time.

Absolutely, I know these aren't end game cards but to your point, I hit really well with George Foster, Griffey Jr. (Who will soon have a 99), Adam Dunn, and others. And then with today's players, Winker's Monthly was on point for me.

Ok, this was tough. An all 90's theme team. I tried to use guys who played at least 4 or 5 years into the 90's. So Mariano Rivera and Vlad Guerrero I left off. Pitchers were somewhat limited, but still plenty of good ones. Hitters were abundant, and you could take off a lot of guys I have and add different ones if you wanted. I also took in account of what rank cards they have in game.
1B: Frank Thomas
2B: Craig Biggio
3B: Chipper Jones
SS: Barry Larkin
LF: Luis Gonzales
CF: Jim Edmonds
RF: Gary SheffieldBench: Steve Finley, Vinny Castilla, Ivan Rodriguez, Wade Boggs, Tony Gwynn
Starters: Kerry Wood, Greg Maddux, Pedro Martinez, Fernando Valenzuela, Tom Glavine
BP: Robb Nen, John Smoltz, Goose Gossage (barely made it with 4 years played in 90's lowest I would go), Trevor Hoffman, Billy Wagner, Rob Dibble, John Franco, Dennis Eckersley.
Made some edits after looking at some cards I didnt have.
