2012 Opening Day Rosters

Can you name the 2012 Opening Day Rosters?
Wow. This is what we've been working toward, and this is it, my favorite quiz ever. I can't even imagine the amount of effort this took, but it's a fantastic way to kill a day. I hope you don't have a job you want to keep if you want to take it. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to learn flash so I could create a similar quiz for years gone by (the one complaint I have is that there's no mechanism for you to track who you've guessed -- sure you've typed hernandez, but that doesn't mean you know who you got for every team that has a Hernandez, which means you don't know who you're missing).

I made it to 624 after several ages of working on this and charting everything on paper (keeping a second window of the same game open so I could track multiple player last names and check off where they fit on the teams). I was at 24 for the Nationals for ages before I realized I'd just never typed in Strasburg. Whoops.

I also apparently know 24 members of the Chicago White Sox. That's disturbing, especially considering I only got 25 for two teams (the Indians, my favorite team, and the Nationals, which is helped by the fact that I've already gone to 6 of their games this year -- and inadvertently got Brett Carroll, thank you, Minnesota Twins).

I have two gripes -- one, there's some hitch in it with a couple of last names (Perez and possibly Davis, so I had to type them twice to get all the answers to show up) and two, I'm not sure why to go with the post-Japan opening day rosters for the A's/Mariners. Although they allowed the teams to travel with extra players, there were only 25 on the active roster on day 1, so those should be the answers. That said, the A's and Mariners were the teams I knew the least, I'm not so sure it'd have mattered. And...again, awesome.
