    I think Tony Lazzeri should be starting 2nd baseman over Craig Biggio.
    And, while I like Justin Verlander and John Smoltz as starting pitchers, I would choose Andy Pettitte over Smoltz, evidenced by his 1-0 win over Smoltz in a World Series Game.
    I like your list, but it’s difficult, in some instances, to pick one over another.
