Ichiro would replace Crawford, also. Maybe throw Zito in there over Oswalt or Cone. For the most part, though, this is the team I would have put together.

Looking at the rosters, that's pretty common. Especially beyond the early rounds where it was a lot tougher to pass on the TOP guys numbers wise (A-Rod for example).
If I could have picked up Bonds, A-Rod and Clemens, I would have gone all in trying to assemble the most hated team possible. It's a shame, really.

Only guy I have that I didn't like was Bret Boone but his power/glove was too stellar to pass up.

Have a lot of my favorites.

Yeah, I don't think I actually ended up with anyone on my team that I dislike.

I'm a huge college baseball fan and I saw him play for Missouri State. He was really good (obviously) but not great. Shows what the right coaching will do for someone.

Roger Clemens, pulled after 6 at 99 pitches after setting the side down in order in the 6th. Weird.
