Athletics all time 25 man roster

[Sockeye]

C: Mickey Cochrane, Terry Steinbach
1B: Jimmie Foxx, Mark McGwire
2B: Eddie Collins, Max Bishop
3B: Sal Bando, Home Run Baker
SS: Bert Campaneris, Eddie Joost
LF: Rickey Henderson, Al Simmons
CF: Bob Johnson, Dwayne Murphy
RF: Reggie Jackson
SP: Eddie Plank, Lefty Grove, Rube Waddell, Chief Bender, Tim Hudson
RP: Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers, Justin Duchscherer, John Wyatt, Joe Berry

How many games would this team win against 2016 competition if all of these Athletics players were together in their Athletics prime?

The way I see it is the starting pitching would be the best is baseball as would the bullpen. The hitting would be easily the strongest as would the bench. All that said 125 wins would be possible.

Nice - I like this roster a lot. I would make a change - Would probably add Canseco to play RF or DH, and would drop Duchscherer. Hudson had great numbers in his career - so did Dave Stewart. It would be hard for me choose one over the other.

Hated to leave Harry Davis, Jason Giambi, & Jose Canseco off the roster but the positions didn't fit and I wanted to keep it positionally realistic with a 10 man pitching staff and at least one backup at every position.

Tim Hudson: 92-39, .702%, 3.30 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 136 ERA+
Dave Stewart: 119-78, .604%, 3.73 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 103 ERA+

Stewart had 27 more wins, but 39 more losses. Hudson was clearly the better of the two pitchers. Agree?

Nice team. I keep wondering if there was a better choice than Bishop. My dad grew up a Philadelphia A's fan and used to talk about their infield in the 40s, particularly Pete Suder at 2nd. Was that just homerism on his part? Maybe.. I'd have to study it some.
Also, how about Tejada at short?
