Just to give people something to talk about...8 starters plus the DH, 5 SP, 7 RP OF: Trout, Springer, Betts 3B: Chapman SS: Bregman 2B: Semien? 1B: LeMahieu? C: Find a better catcher in the AL than Chirinos/Machete? DH: Duh Carry on, talk amongst yourselves....
Regular season team, I'm assuming. Trout only has 1 more postseason home run than I do (and the same number of postseason wins), but nobody doubts his generational greatness.
Trout, Springer, Betts Bregman, Simien, Altuve, Yuli C- no idea SP- Cole, JV, CFM, Bieber, Minor RP- Presley, Harris, Osuna, Chapman, pick whoever else you want- I don’t know enough.
OF: Trout, Springer, Brantley 3B: Bregman SS: Simmons 2B: Torres 1B: Gurriel C: Chirinos/Machete DH: Alvarez
I don't know what to say about the right side of the IF, but I completely agree with the left side. That would piss a lot of dedicated AL shortstops off to have Bregman there, but I dare anyone to argue against it. I agree with @msn on the SPs. As for relievers, not enough experience there, but to not be greedy, I'll pick 2/3 of our obvious choices, and I'm going to go with Harris and Osuna (and Aroldis as your other closer option). Earlier in the year Pressly would be a lock, but I want to see him get back to that after the injuries.
OF Trout, Springer, Betts 3B Bregman SS Bogaerts 2B Torres 1B Santana C Garver DH Alvarez Verlander, Cole, Morton, Bieber, Odorizzi Chapman, Hendriks, Ottavino, Harris, Pressly, Giles, Petit
OF Trout, Betts Springer 3B Bregman SS Semien 2B DJ 1B Moncada DH Alvarez C meh Cole, JV Greinke, Morton, Bieber Pressly, Harris, Liam, Rogers, Lynn, Sale, Snell
Move Bregman to 3rd and have Xander at SS. Christian Vazquez is probably your C (sad state of AL Catchers).
