I mean, having the greatest team of all time as a wild card as opposed to the 94 Expos helps. But there's some chafe at the bottom of the AL IMO.

I did the seedings based on actual win percentage + expected win percentage (based on run differential; tip of the cap to Theny). The AL teams had much higher numbers, potentially due to DH.

Best team IMO made up of players not on any of the rosters in the tourney (Post 1980):

C Mike Piazza
1B Jeff Bagwell
2B Craig Biggio
SS Barry Larkin
3B Mike Schmidt
OF Sammy Sosa
OF Larry Walker
OF Mike Trout
DH Juan Gonzalez

SP Pedro
SP Roger Clemens
SP Orel "Roberts" Hershiser
SP Roy Halladay

CP I dunno. Rob Dibble?

HM Ryno, Mattingly, Wade Boggs

This took me 10 minutes so I'm sure there are oversights.

I think we picked a non-Griffey Mariners team, so he's probably not in there either.

I just kind of assumed we did but you're right, the team that won all those games was right after he left, wasn't it?

Orel was on 95 :tpt:

Closer: Maybe Eric Gagne?

Nope. Scrub on the 07 Red Sox. Looked him up. Also, Francisco Rodriguez got in 5 games for that Angels team.

And since Orel isn't eligible, put Johan "Tito" Santana on there for Jike.

Hershiser was on the 95 Injuns team mj picked. And you call yourself a #tpt fan...

ETA: I see it has already been addressed.

Probably Billy Wagner, Lee Smith, or Bruce Sutter then. All better than Dibble.

There probably wasn't a better Marlins team to pick, but that's still really funny IMO.
