Separated at Birth (Off-Season Edition) - Updated 12/16

Whilst the hot stove is percolating and the void in left field looms larger by the day, I thought it might be fun to do a "Separated at Birth" post, which includes players currently on the 40-man roster, as well as some memorable faces from the past.  Let me know what you think about my match-ups and feel free to contribute your own!

It's going to be a long winter, so we might as well entertain ourselves!

This post is going to be a work in progress...

wow.

AWESOME! The secret weapon could only have evolved from some other sentient being! (Wow, that sounds as dorky as I tried to make it. Suh-weet!)

Very nice

Awesome Ewok comparisons aside, I have always thought that Oquendo should be played in a movie by Luis Guzman. The best part is that Oquendo is actually better looking than the actor who would play him, which does not happen very often.

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

I've seen a few of these

The Dodgers have had one going for a while. But this is much, much better than any I’ve seen. Fine job.
