Sure, I might have had the final picks of the draft, but there were still some nuggets to be found … and I threw in some players just for fun.

Pitching is where I might be the most concerned about this team, but glad to roll out the “Dragon Slayer” as the top starter. Marvin Freeman certainly made Rockies history with his strike-shortened 1994 season so I’d slot him as the number two guy with Darryl Kile at the third spot.

Having Boone Logan on the team gives me all the LOOGY feels and Chad Qualls brings me a smile every time I think about the enthusiasm he brought to the mound.

Sweet Swinging Seth Smith gives my team the edge in the alliteration race I believe. And I’ll take the combined backstop of Joe Girardi and Chris Iannetta at their Rockies bests.

And, of course, glad to have the recently retired Sheriff holding down first base … with Ben Paulsen as his underrated mustache able to provide backup there as well as play the outfield.
