Annual: What's your dream team? 2005 Edition

[Coffeeholic]

As 2005 winds down, there are few surprises left out there, so I thought I'd pose the question once again:

In an $80 mil/DH league, where you are [b:a63fbb014a]guaranteed[/b:a63fbb014a] to get every player you list on your draft card, who would you pick and what park would you play your team in?

[MICHAELSCIANATICO]

My dream team would be:
Johan Santana, Freddy Garcia, Carl Pavano, Dontrelle Willis (SPs)
Mike Gonzalez, Mariano Rivera, Luis Ayala, Jose Mesa, Brad Halsey (RPs)

C- Posada
1b- Huff
2b- Castillo
SS- Itzuris
3b- Chavez
LF- Berkman
CF-Kotsay
RF- Guerrero
DH- Frank Thomas/ Klesko (combo)

Vrabek, I think you might just be able to draft such a team in an auto draft (with a little luck).

Santana would certainly have to be #1, and you might be able to get Castillo #2, followed by Kotsay, then down the line. The "iffy" part would be to put Vlad and Berkman low on your draft card and hope that they were available?

Pretty nice line-up though! 8)

I'm guessing you'd play in a neutral to hitter friendly park?

A few players I haven't used before. Believe it or not, I've yet to use Santana, but I have him pegged as ideal for "pitcher's" park usage?

Also haven't used Willis, but was wonderring if he and Pavano would be good fits without alternatives to use in "unfriendly" environments?

Coffee - noticed you didn't post yours. I'll look back for that post.

Favorite park - definitely Busch

C - Kendall/Burke
1B - Sexson/Dunn
2B - Castillo/Hudson
SS - Rollins/Furcal/C Guillen
3B - Rolen
LF - Matsui/Manny
CF - Edmonds/Kotsay
RF - Clark

DH - E Young/M Sweeney

SP - Santana, Pedro, Glavine, Bonderman, Clement, Munro
RP - Ryan, Looper, Worrell, Fultz

Petco

P Martinez, G Maddux, M Clement, A Burnett, Od Perez, J Gobble (SPs)
B Wagner, J Duchscherer, R Mendoza, J Lima, Brad Halsey (RPs)

C- J Molina / A Castillo
1b- S Casey
2b- N Perez / P Reese
SS- Itzuris
3b- M Mora
LF- C Lee
CF- Bocachica / Dejesus
RF- I Suzuki
DH- E Durazo
Spot DH vs hard lefties: L Merloni

Money should be good. I've not used Martinez in Petco but he would probably be ideal
