The base set included seven of the pitchers. Another five were in the update set. That left 12 for me to create. The two biggest names Topps didn't include were Ryan Dempster and Carlos Marmol. Both were All Stars in 2008. I wonder why Topps left them out in 2009?
The pitchers are arranged in order by innings pitched. The team was led by Ryan Dempster, who threw 200 innings. At the opposite end was veteran Chad Fox, who pitched only 1/3 of an inning over two games and gave up five earned runs (that's an ERA of 135.00!). The other 22 fall somewhere in between.
Ryan Dempster - 200 innings

Ted Lilly - 177 innings

Carlos Zambrano - 169 innings

Randy Wells - 165 innings

Rich Harden - 141 innings

Sean Marshall - 85 innings
Carlos Marmol - 74 innings

Aaron Heilman - 72 innings

Kevin Gregg - 68 innings
Angel Guzman - 61 innings

Tom Gorzelanny - 38 innings

Jeff Samardzija - 34 innings

David Patton - 27 innings

John Grabow - 25 innings

There was no Dempster? That's odd.
