2b) Bid McPhee
3b) Heinie Groh
ss) Barry Larkin
Lf) George Foster
Cf) Eric Davis
Rf) Frank Robinson

I love Bid McPhee, but I think you'd have to go with Joe Morgan at second. By all accounts, McPhee was tremendous defensively, but his bat just doesn't stack up with Morgan's.
I'm not sure I would've made the same choice, but Heinie Groh and his bottle bat is somewhat of an inspired choice. He was a d**n fine ballplayer who doesn't get enough credit.
It certainly would be a fun outfield to watch at the plate. Though, I wonder if you'd have to give Dunn some serious consideration at this point. His production at the plate is most impressive.
Anyway, nice list!!

Given how much they've stunk lately, its easy to overlook just how much talent the Reds have had in their history.
I bet you could get a lively debate going over who is the best player in Reds history.
I don't even know who I'd pick, probably big Frank Robinson.

Rose needs to be on any team mentioned IMO no question about it.
The problem is Rose played so many positions. Iwould go with him at 3rd though.
C - Bench
1st - Perez
2b - Morgan
SS - Larkin
3rd - Rose
OF - Foster
OF - Davis
OF - Robinson
SP - Seaver
SP- Soto

I'd have to give an OF spot to Wally Post for his 40 HR season, and that he is my great uncle.
