At this point, I'll now keep two all time rosters, looking to wind up with 2 teams of 25 who could meet in an all time series.  This is a big section for second basemen; I'm pretty comfortable ranking them Kent/Biggio/Alomar.  None of them goes by Robinson; I don't think they go by Gordon either.  The career value difference is real at this point, Kent's 10 wins better than Gordon, but in 3,000 more plate appearances.  Everything else squares up; I'll take Gordon's per game value over Kent's longevity.  That makes Kent/Biggio the first members of the second team.

We've got 3 corner outfielders in this section; rank them Ramirez/Clarke/Raines.  Jackson and Flick keep hold of left field over all 3, but Manny edges out Heilmann to become the new starter in right.  Medwick and Crawford go to the B team when Edmonds moves in as the backup in center.  Santo also joins the team, but Dick Allen's bat keeps him out of the starting lineup.  That's gonna push Palmer to the B team, as I'm unwilling to lose Caruthers yet.  Edgar goes to the B team.  Hubbell's the new third best pitcher on the A team, kicking Ford to the B team.
