| Post subject: | Premature Death Starting Lineup/Rotation |
so the death of yordano ventura got me thinking that "man, you could cobble together a pretty solid rotation out of prematurely-dead pitchers" and then i got to assembling it and here's what i came up with. 1. Jose Fernandez 2. Addie Joss 3. Darryl Kile 4. Yordano Ventura 5. Tommy Hanson (could easily be #3/4 if you go back to the early years when he had a shoulder) --- 6. Cory Lidle (because i still think that early-years tommy-hanson > lidle, who at best would be a solid innings eater at #4/5 in this rotation) and then for the actual starting lineup alls i know is that i've got a couple positions easily filled out: C - Thurman Munson 1B - Lou Gehrig 2B - Kenny Hubbs SS - 3B - OF - Oscar Taveras OF - Roberto Clemente (idk if he was a "5 WAR player" like Taveras so we'll pencil him in at #2 =) OF - Lyman Bostock (cuz a dude who was like ~10-15HR/75-90RBI per season could be useful on this team) so does anyone have some ideas for my all-dead team, or at least have a rotation that can take mine out? LIGHT EM UP! *jeopardy theme* |

Addie Joss has to be the No. 1 starter. I think he threw a perfect game and dropped dead. |

you know, as i look through the wikipedia list of MLB players who died during their careers (where i reckon a good # of these "literally who?" names came from) as i try to find a 3B i came across a dude named "Jiggs Parrott" and i couldn't help but think "man wouldn't it be perfect if he died of hypothermia? you know, if a coat drive could have saved him?" -- lamentably his cause of death was tuberculosis =/ and btw, to anyone who wasn't thinking of adding Pickles Dillhoefer to their team...

There should be more love for the original OJ. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_Bergen_(baseball) A true alpha as he killed his wife (and kids!) while he was still married. Didn't let any strange climb inside his wife before ending her. A man's man to the end. He also received a single Hall of Fame vote. Might want to check up on the dude that voted for him. |
