Why not, the All Phillies thread

[ricowiz]

Okay, here it goes:

C- Darren Daulton (over Lieberthal)
1b- Dolph Camilli (over Kruk)
2b- Nap Lajoie
SS- Joe Sullivan (over Bowa)
3b- Mike Schmidt (of course)
OF- Ed Delahanty
OF- Billy Hamilton
OF- Lefty O'Doul

Honorable mention: Richie Ashburn

Starters:
Steve Carlton
Pete Alexander
Curt Schilling
Jim Bunning
George McQuillan

Relievers:
Tug McGraw
Gene Garber
Ron Reed
Don Carmen

I know most of this list is of old time players but I based this off of who had the most productive seasons at each position. It kills me not to have Abreu on this list.

Have at it.

Shame on you for not putting Richie Ashburn on that list. Granted, his stats weren't spectacular, but he was the heart and soul of the whole Phillies organization during his lifetime.

I would def. agree with you for Richie, like I said I was just going by who was most productive. Come to think of it maybe I should add him.

You really reached on some of those position players. Going for the all 19th century team?

Aside from going THAT far back, my only problem is that several of those guys only played a couple of seasons for the Phillies. Who is Joe Sullivan? The only one I found (from the 1890s) only played about 200 unimpressive games for the Phillies. Dolph Camili - 3 years. O'Doul - 2 years.

It's hard to compare players like Abreu with guys who played at a time when a 6'1", 170 guy could be nicknamed "Big Ed" (Delahanty). I know the Phillies have a long history, but I think maybe a 60-70 year cutoff and a minimum years of service rule might be beneficial to your team.

Very true, I guess naming the players I did made it less fun.
