This could be interesting.
I'm going to come up with teams based on a theme, such as "colors" or " last name begins with R", or "bodies of water". All lists are subject to debate (as a matter of fact, if you think you know a player that is better than my starter, by all means post it). If you want to make your own teams based on a theme, feel free to post it as well.
Lets start with....
Bodies of Water
1B- George Canale 2B- Eddie Lake 3B- Brooks Robinson SS- Hubie Brooks C- Steve Lake OF- Mickey Rivers OF- Alexis Rios (Rios is rivers in Spanish) OF- Jason Bay SP- William Waterfield Widner SP- Elmer Ponder SP - Samuel Pond Jones RP- Fred Waters RP- Doug Creek
Pretty good outfield and left side of the infield. Not a very good pitching staff and pen. As a matter of fact, pretty horrible.

Where would you play them? Yogi over Bob Boone. Felipe Alou won't crack that outfield. Ray boone could be a utility player, but he won't crack 1B, SS, or 3B.
