What is the story about?

I spend too much time on the internet. That has become clear to me, especially over the last year or so. However, occasionally the internet brings good ideas! And that was the case last week.

I was scrolling through Threads and came across this question:

Question my wife and I were just discussing: If you had to create a team using 11 clones of exactly one player playing all positions, which player do you think would create the most successful team?

So I’d like to rephrase this for baseball into four questions:

If you had to create a Rockies team using nine clones of exactly one current player playing all positions, which player do you think would create the most successful team?
If you had to create a Rockies team using nine clones of exactly one former player playing all positions, which player do you think would create the most successful team?
If you had to create a Major League Baseball team using nine clones of exactly one current player playing all positions, which player do you think would create the most successful team?
If you had to create a Major League Baseball team using nine clones of exactly one former player playing all positions, which player do you think would create the most successful team?
