Jennifer mentioned that she had a difficult time finding a right fielder, so it would be a platoon situation for the Diamondbacks. Let her know who you’d start as their right fielder. Also let us know what you think about this All-Time team.
I put Justin Upton at RF for the simple reason, he played the biggest % of tine at RF vs the others. None of the 4 players who could platoon the position were primarily RF.

As a lifelong (since 1998, at least), this is a pretty good list. However, I’d put Matt Williams at 3rd over Mark Reynolds. Move Mark Reynolds to bench over Jake Lamb. I’d also say Chris Young over Parra as a reserve outfielder. Instead of Greg Colbrun, I’d put Erubiel Durazo as our bench first baseman.
I’d keep Upton in RF as well.
Also, Merril Kelly has been good recently for us but I’d put Curt Schilling in the rotation on our all time team over him.
