Wow! Back to me! Let me think this out....really wanted AGonzo or Rollins, they were the only two proxies I left.....much thinking to do here.....I think Mark is in the catbird's seat at the turn, frankly.....

UPDATE: I went with boring and took the most expensive guy left, Mike Fontenot....still, a 2e4 second baseman w/ N-power both ways, no gbA, doubles out the ying-yang, and a .900+ OPS is tuff to top. He can go down for 15 (and probably will!), but at least it's only a 1-injury rating.
Team will be the Bajor Deep Space Nine, by the way. I've seen exactly one episode of that version of the veritable franchise, but I thought the "Nine" was a nice touch, and -- believe it or not -- the one episode of DS9 that I saw, the Space Station members play a game of baseball against a cutthroat Vulcan team:

I remember watching the episode, which is set up like it's going to be one of those "Triumph of the Underdog" cheezefests, but actually the Vulcans blow them out, 10-1. When the DS9 guys manage to squeeze a run across with two out in the 9th, it's a huge symbolic triumph for them, and the episode ends with the DS9 guys having a big party together as a team, and the Vulcans skulking off sniping at each other. It was actually pretty good.
