Line Up for the Long Term

I've been thinking about the lag resulting from taking a Run on All Players. Even if you go the shorter (and more expensive route), with 900-some inactives and with an iOS device, it looks like you're going to have a lag. So I'm wondering, under current conditions (inability to eliminate inactives individually, and roster numbers set with only three position player subs and a pitching staff of 10), what would be my lineup if I released my inactives? I'd take into account upside, age, and injury history. What would be yours?

C: Posey, followed by Mesoraco then Lucroy (tho Luc has a tender hamstring)
1B:Goldschmidt
2B: Altuve or Gennett (tho Gennett hasn't really established himself as a top-level player yet)
3B: tough call. Beltre and Ramirez are old; I don't see as Frazier as elite yet. Josh Harrison played a lot of 3B for Pirates last season, tho in TSB he's an outfielder
SS: Tulo's health is not good. Hanley Ramirez is being moved to OF by the Red Sox. I'd pick Santana.
OF: McCutcheon, Brantley, Harrison (but see 3B above) or Trout
DH: Sandoval
Sub: Dickerson
Sub:Gennett or Altuve
Sub:Cabrera

SP: Sale
SP: Cueto
SP: Tehran
SP: Bumgarner
SP: Fernandez

LR: Roark (not currently designated as RP, but the Nationals may use him in that role)
RP: Giles
RP: Betances
RP: Holland
RP: Kimbrel

    Love the Chapman pick! He should be a 5* in my opinion! 2.00ERA last season and gave up the fewest HR of all closers!

    Doubtful GLU would promote him that high, it seems everybody already has him lol
