I'll do the Devil Rays later. :D

Baltimore Orioles

C - Ramon Hernandez
1B - Jeff Conine
2B - Brian Roberts
SS - Miguel Tejada
3B - Melvin Mora
RF - Jay Gibbons
CF - Corey Patterson
LF - Richard Hidalgo

SP - Rodrigo Lopez
SP - Kris Benson
SP - Erik Bedard
SP - Daniel Cabrera
SP - Bruce Chen
CP - Chris Ray

Pittsburgh Pirates
CF Chris Duffy
SS Jack Wilson
LF Jason Bay
RF Jeromy Burnitz
1B Sean Casey
3B Joe Randa
2B Jose Castillo
C Humberto Cota

They might do their usual switcheroo and start Craig Wilson over Burnitz in RF. Or Wilson over Casey at 1B. Since The Craig can play both positions, I figure he'll be the first player off the bench around the 6th inning of every game.

LHP- Oliver Perez
LHP- Zach Duke
LHP- Paul Maholm
RHP- Victor Santos
RHP- Ryan Vogelsong

Exact rotation may be switched up a bit, since you've got 3 lefties, and a possible 4th in Sean Burnett.

MINNESOTA TWINS

LF Shannon Stewart
2B Luis Castillo
C Joe Mauer
DH Rondell White
1B Justin Morneau
CF Torii Hunter
3B Tony Batista
RF Michael Cuddyer
SS Jason Bartlett

SP Johan Santana
SP Brad Radke
SP Carlos Silva
SP Kyle Lohse
SP Scott Baker
CP Joe Nathan
