Should have two teams SF and NY. So har$ to compare eras. I can do SF. I’ll leave NY to others
SP: RH. Juan LH. Bum
RP- Rod Beck. Admittedly somewhat a heart pick. Biggest stones ever. Rob Nen is prob better
C Buster
1B. Stretch
2B Kent
SS Crawford
3B. Williams
LF Bonds
Cf Mays
RF. Bonds
Will Clark first off bench.
Mgr. Bochy
Pretty easy actually
I know on contracts. Still, money is not an issue

Bonds 26 or more HRs 5 times and 40 or more steals 5 times then traded for baseball's all time jerk
at age 28. Sad

Saw a web site citing the greatest career SF Giants by position. Some are obvious, some not so much:
https://www.stadiumtalk.com/s/best-mlb-l...ox-myfoxny
P - Mathewson (372-188, 2.12 ERA). A position where Carl Hubbell and Juan Marichal are backups. Yikes.
C - Posey
1B - Bill Terry (.899 OPS, .341 career BA). I would have taken McCovey
2B - Frankie Frisch (.811 OPS), I would have taken Jeff Kent (.903 OPS)
SS - Art Fletcher. Marginal (.732 OPS). I would have taken either Crawford (.709 OPS, 3 GG, 2 AS) or Travis Jackson (HoF, great fielder, .770 OPS). Probably Jackson.
3B - Matt Williams (.805 OPS, 4 GGs). Jim Ray Hart slightly better hitter for SFG, nowhere near the fielder.
RF - Mel Ott
CF - Willie Mays
LF - Barry Bonds
Outfielders are no brainers.
