You're the GM of USA baseball. Who is on your roster?

Bullpen - I don't want to look for those guys.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
I like dougdirt's list but I'd go with Kershaw over Lee and Pedroia over Uggla.

the pitchers part is somewhat easy,
Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Zack Grienke, Jeff Samardzija, Matt Garza.
bullpen- joel hanrahan, jason grilli, jason motte... i completely ignore all reds pitcher's and roll with these pitchers...with the message to the manager...NO PITCH COUNTS!
I'd have to give the position players a little more thought.
Votto is on my roster.....
Boom.
Evidently, Team Israel manager Brad Ausmus has contacted Ryan Braun and Kevin Youkilis about playing for Israel. Shawn Green and Gabe Kapler have already agreed to be coaches, and may decide to be player/coaches. Scott Schoeneweis has not yet decided whether to be a coach, a player, or both.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
