It turns out the vast majority of good Canadian players have been slugging leftfielders, which leaves me scrounging around for even a passable middle infield.

Gregg Jefferies or John Kruk would be a good fit at first. Both under 6 foot.
Surprised Pedro is not in your rotation.

Yes. Do this!
That is a damn solid bullpen. I loved me some Jeff Zimmerman. One of the best sliders I have ever seen.

It would take a lot of research but a fun team would be players who were standouts at other sports. Obviously you have Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders. Joe Mauer and Carl Crawford would be up there.

LA Kings 4th round draft pick Tom Glavine.
Yep. Just remembered that!
Tecmo Bowl alum Brian Jordan.
Dave Winfield was drafted in all three major sports. Pretty incredible.
I would pass on Danny Ainge.

Bob Gibson, Mark DeRosa, Steve Garvey, Tony Gwynn, Mark Hendrickson, Todd Helton, Rich Rhoden, Ferguson Jenkins, Robin Roberts, Jackie Robinson, Frank Thomas, Jeff Samardzija, Dámaso García, etc
This team would not be too shabby.

Could you find enough players to set the cutoff at players who were either drafted or played professionally in another sport?

Hard to say off the top of my head. Again, would take a lot of research.
I did not know Fergie Jenkins was a Globetrotter until just now.

Every player on the team has to have a father, son, or sibling. And the father/son/sibling has to be on the team as well. I imagine that team could be pretty awesome just with Griffey/Bonds/Dimaggio.
