Through 2023.
Largely, this is a focus on career regular season value, due to time considerations. I'm doing this with the idea of a possible tournament, so I'm not just putting together the best 26 players, I'm trying to construct a roster. Every spot has a backup, 16 position players/10 pitchers. Making platoon considerations, each team has 2 dedicated closers, each bullpen has a lefty.
Lineup v RH
C T.Simmons (S)
1B A.Pujols
2B R.Hornsby
SS O.Smith
3B K.Boyer
LF E.Slaughter (L)
CF J.Edmonds (L)
RF S.Musial (L)
DH J.Mize (L)
Lineup v. LH
C Y.Molina

SS O.Smith
3B K.Boyer
LF D.Medwick
CF C.Flood

Bench
2B R.Schoendienst (S)
3B/2B/1B M.Carpenter (L)
CF/LF R.Lankford (L)
LF L.Brock (L)
The backup at third is really the open spot - Frankie Frisch just didn't play enough at third as a Card to qualify, and so that caused him to be left off entirely; Rolen/Carpenter is a coin flip, but the platoon advantage/multi positional value goes to Carpenter. Hornsby is the backup at short.
