1950's DPL ALL DECADE TEAM
CATCHERS
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458389]Jeremy Garcia[/url] SF Giants -- Future HOF member and the best catcher in the DPL ever. 9 All Star games, 1 MVP and 915 RBI's in the decade.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458284]Roberto McGhee [/url] Boston/NY Mets/Baltimore -- This well traveled catcher had 5 seasons of 27 or more HR's and 6 All Star games
FIRST BASE
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458232]Bob Bowman[/url] Seattle-- 8 All Star Games, 4 Gold Gloves, 1 MVP and 279 HR's in the decade. A true beast.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458312]Pete Nixon[/url] NY/SF --6 time All Star, 3 Gold Gloves, 206 HR's and 958 RBI's in the decade.
*Tough call to leave [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458788]Dave McManus[/url] from the Cubs off the list. He ends up being one of those tweeners who is dominant in half of two decades but not enough in one to make it.
SECOND BASE
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458436]Julio Tobin[/url] Cleveland -- 5 All Star games, 4 Gold Gloves and 226 HR's in the decade.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458258]Mike Batiste [/url] Seattle -- 3 All Star Games, 2 Gold Gloves, 267 HR's, 881 RBI's.
**Honorable Mention to [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7581667]Fred McNaughton [/url] Texas -- 3 All Star games and the '53 ROY award. Averaged 25 HR's and 86 RBI's in the decade. He would have been a lock if he had played the whole decade.
THIRD BASE
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458346]Whitey Kay[/url] Baltimore Monumentals -- 9 All Star Games, 1 MVP, 349 HR's and 1128 RBI's in the decade. The most dominating player of the decade in my book.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458611]Todd Gonzalez [/url] Seattle -- He didn't get started until the '52 season when he won ROY honors but that didn't keep him from getting the nod. 6 All Star games, 1 MVP (he should have a second in '59), 220 HR's and 110 runs a season average in the decade.
*[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458191]Tim Sabo[/url] who saw the country playing for Stl/Boston/Mil/NY just missed the cut with 7 AS games and 2 MVP's. Both the counting stats and rate stats just put him 3rd on the hot corner list.
Shorstop
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458307]Jim Merriman [/url] Baltimore -- 9 AS games, 1 Gold Glove, 1 MVP 1044 runs and 327 RBI's in the decade. A lock at SS for this team.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458381]Bill Bullett[/url] KC -- 7 AS games, 1 Gold Glove, 1 MVP award, 1003 runs, 216 HR's, 262 SB's. Bullett and fellow All Decade winner Luis Woods have been in a battle for the hits record in the DPL.
OUTFIELD
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458547]Luis Woods[/url] Chicago Cubs -- 7 All Star games, 2 Gold Gloves, 2nd in hits for the decade with 1818 and a record 289 Stolen bases for the decade. Another future HOF'er in my book.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7458487]Ron Simons[/url] Brewers -- 7 time All Star, Gold Glove winner. Simons put up some great seasons despite playing part time the '53 and '54 seasons. Rumors had it that Simons slept with someones daughter in the organization but nothing was ever proven. He went on to post quality stats for the decade and helped the Brewers to 4 World Series rings.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458199]Lyle Senteney [/url] Colorado -- 6 All Star games, 3 Gold Gloves and 1 MVP award. Lyle was a starter in all 6 games he went to while posting two seasons with an obp over .400 and had 4 seasons with over 200 hits.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458349]Johnny Smith[/url] TB/Baltimore -- 6 All Star games, 5 Gold Gloves, 282 HR's and 924 RBI's in the decade. Johnny helped get Baltimore to the World Series twice, coming up empty both times.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7458317]Terry Woods[/url] Oakland -- Woods made 6 All Star games, won 2 Gold Gloves and hit 212 HR's in the decade despite only 200 AB's in '50 and '51 combined.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7458211]Ray Kneisch [/url] Texas/Oakland/Atlanta -- 5 AS games. 1907 hits, 1060 runs and four 200 hit seasons in the '50's. Kneisch's mark of 226 hits in 1950 is still a record in the DPL.
Starting Pitchers
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7458190]Phil Platt[/url] Brewers -- The second pick in the SP draft turned out to be a classic one. 8 All Star teams, 4...yes FOUR CY awards, 2 Gold Gloves, 4 World Series rings, an ERA of 2.64 and a WHIP of 1.08 for the decade. Best pitcher the DPL has ever seen.

[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7458244&statsorimps=stats]Ken Tekulve[/url] Cleveland -- 5 All Star Games 1 Gold Glove. The 1st overall pick in the SP draft in '50 didn't get started in the league until '52 and still ended up with four 19 win seasons and an 18 win season in the decade.
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7458248]Pat Diehl[/url] Giants -- 3 All Star Games, Back to Back CY awards in '57 and '58. Diehl ended up 3rd in the decade in K's and had two 20 win seasons in the decade.

*Honorable Mention goes to [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7458192]Roger Weihe[/url] who spent most of his career with Brooklyn then went to Atlanta.

Thats it, thats all I got. I hope it was entertaining and I hope I didn't miss anyone that should have been on, this was a much larger task than I thought it would be.

i do have 1 gripe with [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=player&playername=nobody&id=7458247]Billy Looney[/url] not making it. He wasnt a closer but was more valuable than most of those relievers on the list imo with all the innings he ate up in close game situations. He has 150 wins with over 100 coming in relief(was a starter for 3 seasons). Hes still going strong at 40os too :o

awesome, great list... thanks for taking the time to do something like thisi do have 1 gripe with [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=player&playername=nobody&id=7458247]Billy Looney[/url] not making it. He wasnt a closer but was more valuable than most of those relievers on the list imo with all the innings he ate up in close game situations.

I would agree with Looney being a miss on my part. The ratios are sweet and the win total is strong. I think that I must have just missed him when I went over the all star pages and league leaders which sucks cause he was on 5 AS squads. The blown saves doesn't mean much since he was usually in line to either get a win/loss or blown save with Lennon as your closer.
