I figured any of the bench players could fill in at DH, but the Big Hurt really defines that role. I would still keep Roberts at 2B. He has 40 stolen bases so far, and is turning into the new Cal Ripken Jr. figure of Baltimore with his consistency. Also, Hill has more errors. But, Hill has been improving every year and will surely make my list soon. I also hate to mention it, but having Brian's father as a field manager for Cotuit also helps his case. Good points.

Aaron Hill 2B - (Wareham, Toronto Blue Jays); Having a good season at .271, 14 HR & 70 rbi. I'd replace B. Roberts with Hill based on overall production. 2. Frank Thomas DH - (Orleans, Toronto Blue Jays); For him, having an OK season w/ 21 HR & 81 rbi. You need a DH right? It is amazing that you put this team together and it is hard to find a spot for Todd Helton. Just shows the DEPTH of the talent...which actually might be the larger point that these lists are proving. Most summer leagues can put together a list of former star players but NONE can put together a list with such depth. 3. 3. A couple of additions to mention:

Greg compiled a different list with all of the alum in contention. We will try to share that list in the future. With Jacoby's recent performance, he could arguably be put on this list. Hi Jerry,

My list is a list of the best Cape players from this season in the MLB. Greg compiled a different list with all of the alum in contention. We will try to share that list in the future.

With Jacoby’s recent performance, he could arguably be put on this list.
