No major beefs with any of the selections. Gotta think there might be somebody who could swap out with Jesse Haines.

You could add Wainwright as a starter and then include another closer, possibly Hrabosky or Worrell, or you could add someone like Silver King or Max Lanier to the starters. It's all a really close call. I’ve made the swap between Cooper and Haines for starter/reliever since Pop was a knuckleballer.

I also made Rolen the starter as he is at least 3rd best of all-time third basemen.
