that's a good question. I'm assuming players in MLB today and that money/needs aren't a factor. I'd probably take Kemp or Adam Jones.

That would be a great addition. Young player that has a big bat.

The only problem is that AJ has been solid for the Sox, so it's not really the biggest need.
Aj won't play forever

Good call on Kemp.

Closers are overrated. So are ofers though we've struggled lately with them

closers also come and go. Rivera is the one exception to that rule.

Closers will have a good year or two and then you can get rid of them and find another one that's pretty good.

Queue the laughter. Ryne Sandberg would be perfect and Gordon can play 3b

Why wouldn't you play Ryno at 3B? His range was terrible at 2B, but he caught just about everything that came near him. He came up a 3B.

Then a lot of balls got hit to him. He was top two or three every year in chances I believe

You really don't recall how tall the grass was at Wrigley back then?

Still got to more balls. Plus a team notorious for awful 3b sack men put RYNE at 2b
