Tejada and Santana are not Americans, chief. I assume Tejada would play for the Dominican Republic and Santana would play for Venezuela. If I were creating an all-world team, Tejada would definitely be my shortstop, and Santana would be my ace #1 starter.

Willis is an American, and the way he's pitching he deserves consideration. But he has never finished a full season, he tends to come out of the gate very hot and then fizzle. If he keeps this up all year though I'd have to consider him. Though I don't know who I'd bump off because my pitching staff is heavy on right handers already. I couldn't bump off a lefty like BJ Ryan or Billy Wagner, because you need a couple for matchups. Maybe Peavy or Halladay.
