With the Dodgers, what about Pete Reiser in the outfield-mix ??
Giants: Why not Brenly as catcher ??
Brewers - I absolutely agree, but I don't think Prince Fielder (not Cecil) would need to battle Sexson for the regular spot, that should be no contest.
Yankees/Red Sox: Wow, what a team they have !!
Toronto: Where is Jesse Barfield ??
As I said, you can argue on several spots, but you did an excellent job of research and putting the best guys out there ... let the games begin !!

Germaniac thanks for the feedback. Yes there will definately be untold debate about the all time rosters. Also keep in mind that I will be monitering performance as the season goes and any underperformers will be benched. I have also added a Triple A league where many of the fringe players will be playing. So for example if Chet Lemon is tering things up in Triple A for the Tigers he may get a call up ect.
Some comments on the roster suggestions:
- As for the Reds rotation I never thought of Gullett so thanks for the suggestion. Rijo is already in the rotation and Mario Soto had a rough spring, otherwise he is next in line to take a spot. Also keep in mind I have gone with four man rotation's throughout the league.
- I will look at Pete Reiser for the Dodgers, must have missed him. Maybe for Zach Wheat?
- I did look at Brenly at catcher and he is on the Giants triple A roster. To be honest I wasnt impressed with Brenly and gave the chance to others, also keep in mind Benito Santiago was an outstanding defensive catcher in his prime.
- Prince Fielder did win the job right out and will play everyday.
- The Blue Jays outfield is loaded. It really came down to Barfield and Danny Tartabull, so I had a tough choice to make. Somehow though I get a feelinng Barfield will see some time in the big show.
Thanks again!
