2020 Opening Day Rosters Project
-
Good afternoon
A bunch of us got talking about what a 30 player 2020 opening day roster would look like on April 15th.
We had a lot of fun with this project. We decided to share the fun with the APBA community.
Attached is our 30 player opening day roster for each team.
Share your thoughts. Who did we miss?
If you think another player should have been selected, you must also tell us whom to delete.
Only one condition: Please be polite.
Have fun. Stay safe.
John

David Cote on the Cubs should be David Bote.
Oscar Almora on the Cubs should be Albert Almora Jr.
Thanks, Steve -
@apba-go-jeremy Looks good to me.

Dang! I was hoping the Smettzer would make the Twins. I want to have the Twins put a Smeltzer Water stand next to their Killebrew Root Beer Stand down the first base line at Target Field.
