C- Johnny Bench
1st- Joey Votto
2nd - Joe Morgan
SS - Barry Larkin
3rd - Pete Rose
RF - Ken Griffey Jr.
CF - Eric Davis
LF - George Foster

SP - Jose Rijo, Don Gullett, Tom Seaver, Cueto
RP's - John Franco, Dibble, Chapman,

same here.  Just add Mario Soto as fifth starter.  He had some great years but was cursed to play on a lot of bad teams.

He had a 6 year run (80-85) where he finished in the top 10 in fewest hits per nine innings and most strike outs per nine innings every year.  He actually finished in the top 5 in each of those categories 5 of those 6 years.

Soto led the league in complete games twice ('83, '84), strike outs per inning twice ('80, '82), fewest hits per inning ('80), and fewest hits + walks per inning ('82).
