CF Tris Speaker
RF Earl Averill
DH Manny Ramirez
Boudreau-to-Lajoie-to-Thome, a Hall of Fame double play trio, anchors this fine infield. But the outfield is where the batting pop is: Shoeless Joe, Tris Speaker, and two "Rock's": Earl Averill and Colavito in a platoon.

Need a great defensive duo up the middle? Bring Omar Vizquel and Robbie Alomar in to spell the starting DP combo. Buddy Bell at third gives that backup group another great glove. Hegan will need to sub in for VMart quite a bit for defense too.
On most teams, Belle, Lofton, and Doby would get playing time, but it's tough with the starting outfield the Indians have.
