Tim Lincecum, could be convinced to come home, and Jacoby Ellsbury is from Madras, Oregon (went to OSU) I bet he has fond memories of the GPNW.  Maybe Jon Lester could come home.  I would take Brent Lillibridge at short or 3rd (although looks like the white sox want him to be an OF), and of course Potatoes O' Flaherty can come back as a Loogey.  I wouldn't mind seeing if Grady is finally healthy again in center field, and Travis Snider could roam left field for us.  Darwin Barney (also an OSU grad) could play SS or 2B, and Cole Gillespie (again OSU grad) will be a MLB player before long I think (OF).  Kevin Gregg could be the closer and Eddie Kunz the setup guy (except the Mets totally screwed him up).  Jeremy Guthrie could be a MOR and Jed Lowrie could be in our infield.  Nick Hagadone might be an up and coming picther.  Maybe Richie Sexson could come out of reitrement and be the batting coach?  Matt Tui could ride the bench and Sean White could be backup mop up guy in the pen :)
Lets table this out:
Starting Pitchers:
Lincecum, Lester, Guthrie, Hagadone
Relievers:
Potatoes, Eddie Kunz, Kevin Gregg, Sean White
Lineup:
1b
2b -- Jed Lowrie
3b -- Brent Lillibridge
ss -- Darwin Barney
lf -- Jacoby Ellsbury
cf -- Grady Sizemore
rf -- Travis Snider
C -- JAMIE BURKE!
DH (player/coach) -- Richie Sexson
Bench -- Cole Gillespie, Tui
We just need a 1b....  Maybe Prince Fielder is avalible?!?!?  :)
And I am officially starting the BRING BACK JAIME BURKE club right now!
OK, so that isnt a great team, but it IS a legitimate team (I mean look at what the M's have run out the last few years!)  I had a little too much fun with that thanks for helping me waste a half hour at work :)
