All Time Pirates Roster

  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 J.Kendall

1B W.Stargell (L)

2B B.Mazeroski

SS A.Vaughan (L)

3B H.Wagner

LF B.Bonds (L)

CF M.Carey (S)

RF R.Clemente

DH P.Waner (L)

Lineup v LH

C J.Kendall

1B W.Stargell (L)

2B B.Mazeroski

SS H.Wagner

3B P.Traynor

LF B.Bonds (L)

CF A.McCutchen 

RF R.Clemente

DH R.Kiner 

Bench

C M.Sanguillen

2B/1B G.Grantham (L)

3B T.Leach

LF F.Clarke (L)

Parker and Van Slyke both miss out here; Mazeroski's glove is probably enough to keep him in the lineup against RH but Grantham is tempting and likely to get some run if a bat is needed.  Sanguillen/Kendall and Leach/Traynor are essentially coin flips.
