Your all-area team

[Dice]

I'm from Chicago and a die-hard White Sox fan. WIN OR DIE TRYING!
Even though we have enough firepower to win the series it would be nice to steal a couple of Cubs players to form an All-Chicago team to compete. So in markets out in New York, L.A., Florida, D.C., Bay Area or anyother baseball markets with two team geographically close, what is your all area team?

I'll start with Chicago:
STARTING LINE-UP
LF - Scott Podsednik, White Sox
2B - Tadahito Iguchi, White Sox
1B - Derek Lee, Cubs
DH - Paul Konerko, White Sox(if DH is used)
RF - Jeromy Burnitz, Cubs
3B - Aramis Ramirez, Cubs
CF - Aaron Rowand, White Sox
C - A.J. Pierzynski, White Sox
SS - Neifi Perez, Cubs
