Usually the roster consists from 12-14 pitchers and about 20 position players. Using a 32 man roster and 12 pitchers (like AL did yesterday), breaking down the position players to 2-3 catchers, 8-10 infielders and 8-10 OF the most deserving players would be:

The only team not represented is DET. The highest ranked Detroit players are Ordonez OF 21.3 and Polanco 18.3. The fairest would be to select Ordonez over Markakis, however Polanco over Pedroia might be an interesting selection also...

Here you have my version :)
