We're pretty close! Bigger difference in how we limit the assignments within the roster than who'd we'd choose as players. I've got some (admittedly arbitrary) rules that I stick to, but Mo Vaughn and George Scott would both have been on past versions of the team, and Bogaerts might make a future version, if he sticks around another couple years. (I DO hope they re-sign him!) Thanks for the comment. LOVE your avatar! :)
