C: Bench and Rodriguez
1B: Pujols and McCovey
2B: Morgan and Alomar
3B: Schmidt and Chipper
SS: A-Rod and Ripken
OF: Bonds, Henderson, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Robinson
DH: Ohtani and Martinez
SP: Koufax, Martinez, Maddox, Johnson, Carlton, Seaver, Kershaw, Verlander, Jenkins, Clemens
RP: Rivera and Hoffman

At third I felt that Chipper's offense was greater than Robinson's defense.

At shortstop, Smith didn't hit until he was almost 30 and Banks moved to 1st base in 1962 so I went with Ripken and A-Rod who I felt accomplished more than enough at shortstop before he moved to third.

In the outfield, Bonds might well have been the best BEFORE he started juicing. Mantle did almost all of his damage in the '50s. Judge might get there someday. Shame that Trout and Junior weren't able to get the most out of themselves.

Bob Feller? The guy who was the first MLB player to enlist after Pearl Harbor...in 1941? 😄

This was a fun list to make, I'd even be up for a pre-1960 list.
