In the interests of getting this wrapped up by the time Opening Day comes around, we'll do two categories here.

This thread is for debate and discussion on the players selected by each team as Spare Hitters and Pitchers. It's open not only to the contestants themselves, but also to any other forum members wishing to weigh in. Voting is to take place in a separate thread. We'll rotate once per week, so we'll conclude the discussion and voting for this position on Thursday, 7 March 2002.
