Frank's the new backup on the B team, his total value gets him by Greenberg, he and Bagwell are a good fight for the starting spot.  Neither Ozzie nor Dahlen has the bat to make either squad.  Chipper beats out Brett, and they both beat out Allen/Santo to take over the A team's third base spot.  The career value disparity really should put Yaz above Jackson as the backup left fielder, but Shoeless Joe was a significantly better player per game and Yaz becomes the new starter for the B team.  DiMaggio cruises into center field for the A team.  Jenkins isn't going to make either team, Mussina slides in after Schilling on the B team. And Pedro...he's the new best pitcher of all time.  That gives the B team 24, with only a backup CF missing, so I'll throw in Rose.
