16. I'd Have Ted Williams As DH

He didn't care about fielding anyway. I wonder if the AI understands that Williams missed nearly 5 seasons due to combat flying in 2 wars.
And, I hate to say this, but there have been better 2nd baseman than Jackie. Nothing close to his social impact, and the importance of integrating the game, but Lazzeri, Sandberg, Morgan or Biggio have better stats.
It also pains me to say this, but I wouldn't have Ernie at short. Honus Wagner would be my pick.
And, I'd put Aaron in left, since he's not the DH anymore, and leave out Rickey. And, I loved Rickey's game, but we wouldn't need a base stealer with that lineup.
