    Good idea, Danny….

    OK, here’s mine:

    1B - Fielder
    2B - Weeks
    SS - Reyes
    3B - Wright
    OF - Beltran, Braun, Hart
    C - Schneider (only because Kendall is one of the few catchers actually offensively worse than Schneider)

    SP - Santana, Pedro (a healthy one, of course), Perez, Maine, Sheets. Otherwise, I’d substitute Suppan in for an injured Pedro

    RP - Wagner, Heilman, Feliciano, Smith, Sanchez (a healthy one), Riske, Turnbow. I reserve the right to substitute Gagne for Smith at a later date. And of course, there really is no long man in this bullpen, but whatever….

    Bench - M. Anderson, Gotay, Chavez, R. Castro, Kapler.

    Editor’s note - this team would have the weakest ( HR wise) bench in the history of MLB

    The Brewers and Mets match up exceedingly well. I don’t think there is much argument over the lineup now that Braun has moved to the outfield. Had he stayed at 3rd… it would have been a very interesting discussion. As for the pitching, Gonzo, you clearly overrate the Mets staff and bench. You would really want Gotay, and Endy Chavez on this team. As mentioned in my RedSox post, Joe Dillon would have to make the team, and I would take Gross or Gwynn over Endy Chavez. His 2006 fluke will never be repeated, and he will return to his typical .250/.290/.320 line. Gotay has no speed, power or defensive ability. Not sure what his value would be. Gabe Kapler isn’t making the Brewers much less this team.

    My 12 man pitching staff would be:
    Rotation:
    Santana
    Gallardo
    Sheets
    Pedro
    Maine

    Bullpen:
    Riske
    Parra
    Villanueva
    Turnbow
    Heilman
    Feliciano
    Wagner

    Sanchez isn’t healthy and won’t be 100% again in his life. Smith walks too many guys and is more of a ROOGY for me. I don’t trust right handed side arm pitchers. They don’t have long careers, and get lit up by lefties.

    As for the batting order: I would go:
    Reyes - SS
    Weeks - 2B
    Braun - LF
    Fielder - 1B
    Wright - 3B
    Hart - RF
    Beltran - CF
    Kendall - C

    That team would win 125 games.
