    Their pitching Grove, Alexander, Blue, Hunter, Fingers, & Eck (and maybe some others) is the deepest.

    And the line-up is solid:

    C Cochrane
    1b Foxx (unless you move foxx to 3B and play McGwire)
    2B Eddie Collins
    SS Bert Campaneris ???
    3B Jimmy collins, Sal Bando, Foxx .... is there some one else?

    LF Al Simm ...[text shortened]... ?
    RF Reggie Jackson


    EDIT: I've never played SI baseball, so I don't know how it works.
    My friend, the Royals are an expansion franchise from 1969. They do not tie in to that Athletics franchise. It went from Philadelphia to Kansas City to Oakland. But it was the KC Athletics.

    To the Royals list I'll offer Lou Pinella.

    I know---I was just replying to his comment that the all-star A's ARE a good franchise.

    I agree--Piniella will be hard to ignore.

    Thanks moon. I'm aware.

    We were also talking about some of the original franchise teams.

    If you read the thread you will see what I mean.

    There's also another 3 of guys on those AllTime AllStar A's, but I'm not too familiar with them--maybe they are waayyy back, I don't know: Jimmy Dykes, Frankie Hayes, and Bob Johnson. Oh, almost forgot the reason Foxx doesn't always get to start at 1st--the A's have Stuffy McInnis, too!
