Dream MLB Dodgeball Rosters

Ervin Santana tweeted this out earlier and I couldn't love the idea more. Hitters get their show, why can't the pitchers?

We did a dream Home Run Derby roster earlier, so it's time to do a dream Dodgeball roster. Let's get after it.


American League


Ervin Santana. The pioneer of the tournament deserves a spot on the team as the captain.



Justin Verlander. Good athlete. Quick feet. And easy upper 90s fastball. No brainer city.


Mo has more experience than everybody and a cutter from the depths of hell.



With R.A. Dickey, opponents won't know which way to dodge, dip, duck, dive, or dodge.


National League


Aroldis Chapman. 102 mph. Nothing else needs to be said.



Youth. Fearlessness. And an upper 90s fastball. Matt Harvey, so hot right now, Matt Harvey.


Stephen Strasburg. Workhorse. Brings the heat.



Not only is he filthy, I don't think I've ever seen Kimbrel smile. Need that on a dodgeball team.


The AL brings experience and versatility here, the NL brings absolute cheddar.
