	The bench is not necessarily the top 4 non-starters, but is the best possible bench such that each position has a backup plan.

	Gura, Fitzmorris and for the most part Black were not relievers. Maybe mark them as SP/RP to avoid the confusion of thinking of pitchers who weren't known as relievers.

	Willie Wilson played twice as many games in CF as he did in LF, but his very best years he was predominantly a LF, so I guess that's ok. What's not ok is listing AO as a RF. He only played there for 40 games (out of 1900) in his very last year in KC. I applaud trying to get him in the lineup, but if you're picking a RF that actually played RF, I guess it's gotta be Tartabull.

	Actually, Otis is the best of the outfielders on the team, and originally I wanted him in CF. Well he only played 41 games in RF, he fit my criteria for a RF in the event the 3 top OFs had shared top positions. The top 4 OFs, in order: Otis, Wilson, McRae, Beltran. Beltran could not play anything else, Wilson had significant time in LF, Otis had significant time in separate seasons in LF or RF. Of the 4, only McRae had significant time as a DH. As the objective is to create the best team by WAR, I did what I could to get all 4 in the lineup.

	I look forward to the all-time Braves team, with Henry Aaron as a second baseman.

	Now jabs like that are not necessary. My last comment refers only to where I position the best outfielders and does not apply to infield positions. Catchers and infielders have to be at their position regularly in at least a few seasons and play at least two thirds of their team's games at that position in at least one season. DHs also have to be primarily a DH in at least one season and have at least a few years with regular time at DH.

	just a joke, sox - it's your quiz, you get to determine the rules - just speaking as a Royals fan, AO could never be considered a right fielder.

	And as a Red Sox fan, I don't consider Yaz a 1st-baseman, but under the rules for this series, he can be one. Thanks for apologizing and I'd also like to thank pita for the SP/RP idea, I never got around to it.

	Love this series of quizzes. I have a strong opinion that any 'all-time' quizzes should simply list 3 OFers and not worry about who plays where. I think both jersey's & redsox's positions are supported if that approach is taken. My only difference of opinion would be the bit about "DHs also have to be primarily a DH in at least one season" Teams formed since 1969 like the Royals...perhaps. But in the case of older franchises? I'd hate to see a pre-1973 position player miss out on that criteria. Maybe no one does, so it might be moot. Or MLB could just do away with the travesty to the game ...

	Hey redsoxfan34. I posted some comments along with my e-mail on your Tigers team quiz. Shoot me a note if you're ever interested in comparing ideas/notes, Great, great series of quizzes!

	@minnmich: So far, I have not encountered a situation in which a fan favorite has missed out due to the DH rule. Post-1973 fan favorites have missed out before, but none pre-1973.
