As you can see with the National Leaguers, the division at 30 players was not   as clean. But I figured we would be better off with another relief pitcher,   as opposed to a third catcher, so I made the "group decision" to go   with Stewart over Barrett. (I should note that I happened to have not voted   for either man.)
