2009 National League All Troll Team Starting Line Up

I had been hoping to have this up before MLB announced the line-ups for the All Star team, but work got in the way. I will say that the All Troll Teams were selected on Saturday morning for both leagues and were in no way influenced by the MLB All Star teams. Since this is an imaginary line up for an imaginary team playing an imaginary game, I chose to go with a DH for the National League squad as well. Well, here it is, the starting line up for the 2009 National League All Troll Team…

Tim Lincecum 9-2/2.23 ERA/141Ks/3 Com.Games/2 SHO There you have it, that is the starting lineup for the 2009 National League All Troll Team. The reserves for both leagues will be named this week. I will also give out the midseason All Troll awards for top rookie, pitcher and MVP. Stay tuned.
Go Rays! Troll out.
