    But seriously? There are a ton of wonderful players from PR.

    There's Roberto Clemente and then there's everybody else.

    OF: Clemente, Carlos Beltran, Orlando Cepeda, Sixto Lezcano (just because that's one of my favorite baseball names ever), Bernie Williams

    C: Javy Lopez or Sandy Alomar Jr or Benito Santiago or one of the Molinas

    IF: Roberto Alomar, Edgar Martinez, Dickie Thon, Carlos Delgado

    P: Willie/Roberto Hernandez, Juan Pizzaro, Javier Vasquez, (there aren't many great pitchers from PR, but there's a ton of catchers, why is that?)

    Let me give you other starters: John Candelaria, Ed Figueroa, Juanchi Nieves (no hitter with Brewers) Ruben Gomez

    Also, about Edgar Martinez, when he started in Winter League he was a very good defensive 3b with a weak bat, and finished as one of the best DH. He is also a great person. Other players not mentioned, Carmelo Martinez.

    You mention Sixto Lezcano, he had a good arm, but others Juan Beniquez, we called him el Clipper Cangrejero, Jerry Morales.

    I guy that i met, Vic Power, many thought he was the best defensive 1b of all time, and i can tell you a joke he once made about Billy Martin, funny guy.
    Other players, and Hall of Famer, Peruchin Cepeda (baby bull). You know his father played professional baseball and they said he was better than his son? Hit over .400 many years.

    This is my all time puerto rican team:

    c Ivan Rodriguez
    1b Cepeda
    2b Alomar
    3b Edgar Martinez
    ss Ivan De Jesus but Correa will get that spot
    LF Jose Cruz
    CF Beltran
    rf Clemente

    You have 4 Hall of Famers there, Martinez who should be, Beltran, who will be.

    Not playing regulars, Carlos Baerga, Carlos Delgado, Dickie Thon, Sixto Lezcano, Yadier Molina, Jose Lind, ect.

    Rotation:

    1. Rubén Gomez
    2. Terin Pizarro
    3. John Candelaria
    4. Ed Figueroa
    5. Javier Vázquez

    Closer: Willie Hernández

    We had a great arm in Edwin Correa, but got injured, he pitched for the Rangers.
