It’s a flawed stat of course, but as inspired by Twitter, what’s the most bWAR you can get out of a team of nine players, from 1871 to today? With no DH, but yes to pitcher.
The catch is, each player has to have played at least 30% of their career games at the position you list them at (thus LF/CF/RF, not just OF) and also their careers cannot overlap, meaning if they played at all in the same season, they cannot be on the same squad here. The record appears to be 827.0 at present.
I’d think it makes the most sense to start with a Ruth/Bonds/Nichols combo but beyond that I’m genuinely flummoxed.
