So here's a thing to keep us busy until spring training. We're going to create the 'Alphabet Allstars'.

What we will do each day is vote on the a player with a last name beginning with each letter from A-Z for our roster. But at the same time, we have a roster to build and so we need to fill all the positions (13 batters, 13 pitchers). So if we fill a spot, no further players will be able to be voted for that role no matter how good they are. So for example if we vote for Johnny Bench and Carlton Fisk, Pudge Rodriguez won't be available to vote for when we get to 'R'.

No idea if this is interesting or not... but it will only take 10 seconds of your time each day to vote and we could end up with a fun roster at the end.

So can we vote for more than one person? In other words, if we like two guys named Martinez......one as a pitcher and one as a DH, we can vote for 2 on the same day, correct?

Nope... just one vote per day, and yes I do have a plan for when we get to 'X' lol

okay I just looked it up and Leovigildo Xiqués is the only person on MLB history who's last name starts with X

We are at C and I’m already overthinking who I vote for
I copied the roster section and started filling in by position with last names, working around the positions on the roster to make sure I had someone for every letter that made sense. As someone pointed out, a bench OFer has to go to the letter X because there's only one choice. I have a full roster, now I just have to hope the players I picked are ones the person running this offers as suggestions.
