Total Bases Podcast: S2E9: Greatest Dominican Baseball Players Ever!

On a very special episode of the Total Bases Podcast, Felipe is joined by Baseball Cosmos curator Melvin Lopez, as the guys create their 25-man roster of the greatest Dominican baseball players.    The Dominican Republic recently celebrated 156 years of independence. To celebrate, the guys built their own lineup of Dominican players. The guys had to pick one catcher, first, second, and third baseman, shortstop, left, center, and right fielders, and one designated hitter.     The guys also had to select 5 starting pitchers. The remaining 11 players had to be dispersed among the bullpen and the position players on the bench.    Along the way, they had some tough decisions to make:    --Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Sammy Sosa in right field?  --Aramis Ramirez, Edwin Encarnacion, or Jose Bautista as the backup third baseman?  --Pedro Martinez or Juan Marichal as the ace of the starting rotation?  --Will there be enough room for Nelson Cruz, Alfonso Soriano, Starling Marte, or Raul Mondesi?  --What about guys like Julio Franco, Jose Reyes, Hanley Ramirez, or Pedro Guerrero?   All these questions and more will be answered on this episode of the podcast!
