Here's my current selection for All Star Game Rosters.  

Each league has 34 players.  There have to be at least 5 starters/3 relievers for each league.  Each league had 13 active pitchers last year, so I'll make that my target; I still wouldn't ever have an all star roster with more than 3 relievers.  We'd need 40 players a side before I'd do that. Both leagues use a DH.  Every team needs to be represented.  I'm not going to pick a player from each team in this first build, but when I come back at the 60 game mark I'll set up the rosters with that requirement. The number is my WAR number (B-Ref+Davenport).
