Post your teams' All-Star team (players in your lifetime only) [View all]

I'll do it for Cleveland, and only for players that appeared on the roster during my lifetime (and actually played a somewhat significant number of games).

Batting order:

Kenny Lofton, CF
Francisco Lindor, SS
Rocky Colavito, LF
Jim Thome, 1B
Manny Ramirez, RF
Jose Ramirez, 3B
Victor Martinez, C
Roberto Alomar, 2B

Starters:
Bob Lemon (R)
Early Wynn (R)
Sam McDowell (L)
Cliff Lee (L)
Corey Kluber (R)

Bullpen:
Andrew Miller (L)
Cody Allen (R)

Colavito played more right than left, but he did play left. He's there because Albert Belle was such a douchebag. Belle could be a DH if anyone absolutely insists. He'd bat 5th. Missed Al Rosen by one year, otherwise he'd be at 3B. Same with Bob Feller in the rotation. He'd replace McDowell, I think.
