A realistic look.....

[TSiegel]

Now that the voting has gotten into the millions.....(and millions...), if you had a regular standard roster given for the 2004 All-Star Game, who would you pick?

Pitchers (Starters, Relief and a few Closers)
Catchers
Infielders
Outfielders
Managers
Pitching and Hitting Coaches

and hey, why not.....an honerary Mascot other than one for Houston,

I don't really know the American League as well, so I'll abstain.

 

[JLevinson]

What does my man Ben Sheets have to do to make an All-Star Game? Seriously. The man is unstoppable. Y'all are sleeping.

1B: Albert Pujols (STL)
2B: Jeff Kent (HOU)
3B: Scott Rolen (STL)
SS: I don't know... Jack Wilson or Pedro Feliz... ? Not very good choices here.
OF: Bonds, Berkman, Miguel Cabrera
Util: Thome
SP: Clemens, SHEEEEEETS, Unit, Schmidt (honorable mentions to Zambrano and Glavine)
RP: Gagne, Armando Benitez, Graves, Brad Lidge, Antonio Otsuka

I'd have to say... they're both perfect.

Josh,

Other than the fact that you have an all-star second baseman that doesn't play second anymore. Michael Young plays short, Soriano plays second.

 

[JLevinson]

Aight, screw it. Get Tejada off the team, move Young to SS and put Soriano in at 2B. I just didn't want to use Soriano because he's been kind of a disappointment this year, but I think he'll be okay.

Anyway, I was using the eligibility from my fantasy baseball teams, so some of my positions are probably a bit screwy.

 

[TSiegel]

Mine.

I meant to get to it earlier, but OORP stuff so....
