All Star, All Star, Who's Got the All Star

   So who's going to win the league's championship...in 2002?  Realizing that there will be many trades between now and then, the information below still gives you a pretty good idea how things might shape up.  Near misses are our guess; you will probably call the shots differently on some guys.  Free agent all stars:  I. Suzuki, Pujols, Sheets.
     We will make only one prediction:  the Dubuque Spartans will NOT be the league champion in 2002.  We'll bet the bank on that one!
