The bench is not necessarily the best 4 non-starters, but is the best possible bench such that each position has a backup plan.

ok, now I'm just stalking you. Heh. First, I think moving Rommell to SP/RP (he had equal starts and relief appearances), moving in Tim Hudson instead of Diego Segui makes sense. I don't think I understand your bench rules. For instance, on this team, what is the SS "backup plan"? Mark McGwire? Who's the backup catcher?

Alright. I am adjusting rotation to include Hudson and Zito, who trails Hudson by 0.1 WAR. The "backup plans" are that every starter has either a direct reserve (which can be the DH) who substitutes for them if necessary or an indirect reserve who enters at a different position moving the player at that position to the open position. For the catcher, McGwire is placed at 1B and Foxx is moved behind the plate (yes, he could catch), while at SS, Bishop is placed at 2B and Collins is moved to SS (yes he can play SS).

In the next couple days I will go through my other quizzes and ensure there are no other exceptions like this and Glavine on the Braves quiz that need to be made. For tonight, though, I am done.
