Our 2/23 team will have a decent lineup, but no real pitching to speak of.

1 Ron Hunt, 2B
2 Rondell White, CF
3 Bobby Bonilla, 3B
4 Elston Howard, C
5 Roy Johnson, LF
6 John Shelby, RF
7 Ken Boswell, 1B
8 Rudy Hulswitt, SS

Bench: Mike Tresh, C; Billy Lauder, IF; Willin Rosario, C.

SP Scott Elarton
SP Edgar Gonzalez
SP Luke Prokopec
SP Lou Lowdermilk

Bullpen:  Juan Agosto, Don Shaw, Jason Boyd, Phil Haugsted.

Terrible pitching, though this team would score some runs.

I think the February 22 team will be our worst yet.    Best players are relief pitchers, some of which will be starters on our roster.

1 Russ Johnson, 3B
2 Kelly Johnson, 2B
3  Joe Lefebvre, RF
4 Casey Kotchman, 1B
5 Daniel Nava, LF
6 Johnny Lucadello, SS
7 Eric Yelding, CF
8 Roy Spencer, C

Bench: Bill Baker, C; Marty Hopkins, IF.

SP Steve Barber
SP Clarence Mitchell
SP Jumbo McGinnis
SP Tom Griffin

Bullpen:  J.J. Putz, Kaz Sasaki, Ryne Duren, Chet Nichols, Karl Drews.

Yeah, there's not much here.  It's a pretty thin talent base.

We will resume the birthday teams with the February 21 group.  No Hall of Famers, but a guy who should be.

1 John Titus, RF
2 Alan Trammell, SS
3 Joe Foy, 3B
4 Ted Savage, LF
5 Franklin Gutierrez, CF
6 Joel Skinner, C
7 Oscar Azocar, 1B
8 Tom Shopay, badly out of position at 2B

Bench: Brandon Berger, OF; Rene Reyes, OF

SP Jouett Meekin
SP Jack Billingham
SP Dummy Taylor
SP Fred Newman

Bullpen:  Rick Lysander, Snipe Hansen, Bill Slayback.

Serious lack of top-level talent as well as depth.  This would be one of our worst birthday teams.
