National League West
1993 Altanta Braves - I really wanted to have a team with Hank Aaron but it was hard to not have this Braves team in here. Not only did it have Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, Dave Justice and Ron Gant but Deion Sanders was on that team. I really want to see how he handles full time baseball.
1975 Cincinnati Reds - Won 108 games and the World Series. May be one of the best teams of all time. They were great at almost every position. C Johnny Bench, 1B Tony Perez, 2B Joe Morgan, SS Dave Concepcion, 3B Pete Rose, LF George Foster, CF Cesar Geronimo, RF Ken Griffey.
1986 Houston Astros - I really did not want to put them in here but Houston has so few choices I had to go with this team. Plus if this team makes the playoffs, Mike Scott was scary to see 3 times in a 7 game series.
1977 Los Angeles Dodgers - My favorite Dodgers team. They had hitting and pitching. 4 players with 30 or more home runs - 1B Steve Garvey 33, RF Reggie Smith 32, 3B Ron Cey 30, and LF Dusty Baker 30. Tommy John won 20 games and Don Sutton and Burt Hooton were two of the better starters in the NL.
1962 San Francisco Giants - I got to put a team in with a dominant Willie Mays so that was a no brainer. Willie McCovey was just a talented youngster during 1962. Juan Marichal was the dominant starter and Gaylord Perry was a youngster that hadn't quite figured out the majors.
1984 San Diego Padres - This was one of my easiest choices. A young Tony Gwynn and Kevin McReynolds. Goose Gossage and Graig Nettles, too of my favorite Yankees from 77-78, Steve Garvey was brought over from LA. The pitching staff was solid even if they are not really a well known group.
