I like Belle for LF. My team:

C: Munson
1B: Dick Allen (there's a paradox in picking someone like Allen over Mattingly--Allen probably should be in the HOF, and therefore, at least for me, he becomes less Andruw-like than Mattingly, who clearly falls short--but Allen nonetheless fits the profile well)
2B: Knoblauch
SS: Nomar
3B: Troy Glaus (very solid till he's 31, 300 HR and 38.0 WAR, then he's finished; Rolen and Bando and others were clearly better, but I think their declines were more normal than sudden)
LF: Belle
CF: Andruw
RF: Oliva

Starters: Gooden, Sam McDowell, Messersmith, Stieb
Closer: Robb Nen

Manager: Joe Schultz

I just want Joe Schultz as my manager no matter what. He has nothing whatsoever to do with Andruw Jones.

Jody Davis is a pretty good catcher for a list. The Cubs just wore that dude down to a nub and his back went bad.

four years pass...

I'd frame the argument differently, but I don't think Andruw Jones belongs in the HOF either.
