I am going to agree with a lot of your picks, but point out a few that were overlooked. There were some I questioned too.

Cy Young, Luis Tiant, Juan Marichal should be on the list before Beckett or Hurst.

I thought Yaz was mostly a LF?

I believe Eck was a starter when he was with the Red Sox. He didn't become a reliever until he went to Oakland.
