I'll be completely honest and say this, I stole this idea from SoSH but think it's an awesome idea that can really spark some lively baseball discussion on this board (outside of Sox/Yankees) and really make people a little more active again.

The premise is simple:
I don't think we'll get to 30 posters but I do think we can bend the rules slightly to make this even more creative - I want to make 30 man rosters. I also the think the endgame for this exercise is to create the team that will be most successful five years from now.
There is nothing to be won from this exercise, no tournament, no cash prize, nothing except intelligent baseball discussion.

25 major leaguers, and then 5 minor leaguers. The 5 minor leaguers will be those who have options left, and can be sent down to the minor leagues.
I'd like to see if we can't give this a shot and bring some light to other other teams and players across MLB - I also think it will garner some interesting discussions.
I'd like to get at least 15 posters to do this, if you're interested just let me know and what your new team name will be.
I'll start off as the Charlestown Chiefs.
Yes, I know I'm unoriginal, but I thought it was a really cool idea and wanted to give it a shot.
