All Time Georgia Baseball Team

The best players from my home state.



Catcher: Brian McCann

First Baseman: Johnny Mize

Second Baseman: Jackie Robinson

Shortstop: Bill Terry

Third Baseman: Chone Figgins

OF: Ty Cobb

OF: Moises Alou

OF: Dixie Walker

DH: Frank Thomas

Bench: Corey Patterson, J.D. Drew, Michael Barrett, Bucky Dent, Mike Cameron, Marquis Grissom


SP: Kenny Rogers

SP: Tim Hudson

SP: Kevin Brown

SP: Spud Chandler

SP: Jake Westbrook

Closer: Todd Jones


Manager: Bill Terry


This team is pretty solid; one of the better states so far. There are 4 Hall of Famers in the order with Cobb, Robinson, Terry, and Mize, and Thomas will make it in when he's eligible. The pitching rotation is also solid, with two 200-game winners. This team is looking for a better shortstop and some more outfielders, though.

That is an awfully good team. Not many old-timers, though. Half of the players are still active.

That comment about Barrett was funny, but in seriousness, I'd definitely have to say McCann. This season, he's got a higher batting average than Barrett, he has one more homerun and eight more RBI in seven fewer games played. His OBP is 20 points higher and his slugging is 27 points higher. He's also a real catcher, whereas Barrett basically platooned there his first three seasons of his career. His first three seasons combined, he only had 78 starts behind the plate. He's always been miserable as a catcher. The best CS percentage he's had in a season where he caught at least 100 games was .289. This season, his CS is .188, and it's .235 for his career. McCann hasn't been stellar as a defensive catcher, but he's better than that (.276 this year, .247 in his short career of 137 games).

Yeah, McCann made the All star team and will be a special player for quite some time.
