Notes:

-Had to make room for several players given the one-player-per-team rule. I tried to make these choices in the bullpen or bench for the most part. Fitting players from 15 teams onto a 25-man roster means that many good teams have just 1 or 2 representatives.
-The NL is more bottom-heavy with more teams that I had a hard time finding a representative for.
-The AL has 4 representatives each from the Astros and White Sox. The Giants, Cubs, and Pirates have 3 representatives each.
-The NL has a decided SP advantage, where the AL has the better lineup, bench, and bullpen.
