In 2001 the Seattle Mariners won 116 games.

How many games could a super team win in 2001?

You could try this by taking any team and just doing 1 for 1 trades to stockpile all the top talent onto a single team and see what happens.

Bonds, Sosa, Edmonds, Gonzalez, Giambi, Rodriguez, C. Jones, Boone, Piazza.

Maddux, Mussina, Johnson, Clemens, Martinez, Rivera, Nen, Wagner, Percival.


I put together a 1955 super team recently and I think they won 124 games.

Winning 162 games does not seem possible for a super team in any season. As a general rule, for every 10 runs you outscore your opponents you win an extra game. If you score 1000 runs and allow 650 runs, that is +350 runs scored, which roughly translates to an additional 35 wins for your team. 81 + 35 = 116.

To win 162 games you would need to outscore your opponents by about 1620 runs for the season. This does not seem possible even for the most loaded team you can assemble.
