All-NOT-All-Star team
 

three rules :

- take anyone who is not selected to the all-star game, either all AL or all NL

- come up with a complete lineup and bullpen. bench if you like.

- the team must be competitive with the actual All-Star team (edit: OK, just make it VERY competitive but not necessarily with the all-stars)

here are the lineups (ie players you cannot use)

Re: All-NOT-All-Star team
 

It's impossible to create a team that's competitive with the first team All-Star. The second team would be decimated. It would be a good team, but not in comparison to the first team.

Re: All-NOT-All-Star team
 

AL

C Kohjima
1B Youkilis
2B Cano
3B Figgins
SS O. Cabrera
OF Sheffield (whatever, i am putting him in RF)
OF Abreu
OF Granderson

Pitchers
SP Wang
SP Bedard
SP Hernandez (scratched: Halladay)
SP Blanton (scratched: Escobar)
SP Matsuzaka
RP Nathan
RP Street
RP Gagne
CL Rivera

i find that OF is the thinnest position, because the all-star takes like 7-8 or them, but it's pretty doable to get decent pitching.

(edit: because I don't catch too many non AL-east games, i had to change a few pitchers after some thought)

EDIT to add: Bay and Howard are no brainers for the NL IMO.
