Honorable choices all, but, just like in the Annual this year, you guys forgot about Todd Helton.

He's only making $5 million! And first base is stacked.

Bobby Bonilla, at least as a base coach.

I really wanted to get Alfredo Aceves on the team, but it didn't quite work. Total salary: $198.273M. Current aggregate WARP: -4.58. Only two players currently over 0.25 WARP, Markakis (0.69) and Sabathia (0.71).
