This is a really tough exercise, and I don't envy the managers one bit. Even with 38 freakin' players per roster, it's tough to get everyone in, and they have to take the players given to them by the fans, coaches/players etc. as well as keep the peace on their own teams wrt who got them to the 2014 World Series. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself.

P.S. It also looks to me like the NL has a lot better team than the AL this year.

There wound up being 38 per team due to injuries and other assorted no-shows.

Uh-huh and my AL team includes Gray, Cabrera, Bautista and A. Gordon so technically it's 34 that can play. My NL team includes Scherzer, D. Gordon, and Stanton, so I'll have to get rid of one and that'll be Charlie Blackmon of COL. Thanks.
