You like the negro league all-star team idea? I think what I may do if I handle it that way is take a random 2 from the top 10 at each position (as listed by Bill James...Jim Servo had sent me the list). That way it's not the league's best at every position. I just don't want to shortchange anyone in the ratings, but I don't want to make a ridiclous powerhouse. So if it ended up something like:

C: 2 and 8
1B: 1 and 9
2B: 3 and 10
SS: 4 and 7
3B: 5 and 6
LF: 1 and 10
CF: 3 and 7
RF: 4 and 5

That's 16, plus I would do the same kind of thing with pitchers (if there's a list of top 50, take 1, 5, 10, 15, etc.) then just fill in the blanks with random Negro League guys or guys from other groups (Japan, unclaimed, etc)
