I created the teams above for reference to give you guys a general idea of the teams. If you think a certain player could make either the lefties or righties better, feel free to include them in the discussion.

A couple notes:

  • The lefties get switch hitters because switch hitters get most of their at-bats from the left side.
  • Since Ohtani bats lefty and pitches righty, I couldn't let him be a two-way player here. He is only a hitter. Also, because Juan Soto is a terrible defender, he will be the DH and Ohtani will take RF. (yes Ohtani can play outfield, he used to do it with the Angels)

Who do you think would be the better team?
