The post-season picture is complete! The Arkansas Golden Falcons and Newark Sugar Bears have first-round byes while the Vancouver Iron Fist take on the Tijuana Banditos and the Hoboken Cutters match up against the Wanaque Wolverines.

Let's take a look at how the playoff teams were built.

Arkansas Golden Falcons
Making their incredible wire-to-wire first-place finish all the more remarkable, the Golden Falcons haven't major change since Draft Day -- and didn't make a trade all season. In fact, all but three players (Jeff Liefer, Alex Ochoa and J.T. Snow, all signed as free agents) were with the team in Spring Training, with the rest of the roster made up of protected players (15) and draft picks (12).

Fourteen players on Arkansas's roster have been with the team for three or more seasons, including Barry Bonds -- taken in the 9th round of the inaugural DMBL draft. Five more key players were added last season: Lance Berkman, Byung-Hyun Kim, Brad Penny and Fernando Vina were drafted in 2001, and Roger Clemens was acquired from Philadelphia for two picks (2nd Round in 2002, 4th Round in 2003).

Newark Sugar Bears
The core of last year's World Championship team is back, but the supporting players were added largely on the fly as the season went on, with several players (most notably, Jose Canseco) added and dropped several times. Of their 30-man roster, 12 were protected, nine were drafted and two (Paul Lo Duca and Felix Rodriguez) picked up in trades. The team also inked seven mid-season free agents -- the most of any contender.

Newark returns 14 players from last season, including original franchise players Randy Johnson, Chipper Jones and Jim Thome. Those three, plus John Burkett, Charles Johnson and Manny Ramirez, also were with the squad during their last World Series appearance in 1997.

Vancouver Iron Fist
The Fisters have undergone some dramatic changes since last year's World Series loss. The team made two trades before Draft Day and three more in the second half, shipping out franchise foundation Ken Griffey Jr. along with Tony Armas Jr., Tom Glavine, Javier Lopez, Scott Sullivan, Brian Tollberg and Kip Wells for Moises Alou, Roger Cedeno, Al Leiter, Joe Mays, David Weathers and Shawn Wooten. Of the current 30-man roster, 14 were protected, 10 were drafted, four were acquired through trade and two were free agent signings.

Only 11 players remain from the team that won the 2001 Morris Division, plus Al Leiter, who rejoins the team after a two-year hiatus. Just three players are left from the '94 squad, the last time Vancouver won the World Series: Jeff Conine, Greg Maddux and Edgar Martinez, the only player remaining from the inaugural 1991 team.

Hoboken Cutters
The Cutters have reached the post-season in just their second year of existence, but they've made some big changes since Draft Day: This year's 30-man roster includes just 12 players who were protected and eight picked in the 2002 draft. With five players added as free agents and five more acquired through trade, Hoboken has more mid-season acquisitions than any other playoff team.

The Cutters return a dozen players from their inaugural season of 2001, but many players have previous connections to this franchise's long, colorful and confusing history. The Cutters were founded (along with the Brooklyn Bean Counters) in an expansion draft out of the remnants two tortured franchises: The Arizona Rattlers, descended from the team founded in 1992 as the Scranton Sparrows (and later known as the Louisiana Lightning and Keystone Gamblers); and the Hawaii Volcanoes, which can trace its roots back to a league-founding franchise, the 1991 Maine Lobsters (later known as the San Antonio Gun Slingers, Sacramento Seahawks and New York Mets). The 2002 squad includes 13 players who wore at least one of the nine uniforms on the Cutters' family tree, including Roberto Alomar: Drafted in the 15th round (73rd overall) by the Maine Lobsters, Alomar has followed this franchise for 12 seasons through six cities!

Wanaque Wolverines
The Wolverines are the only post-season team to have the same exact roster on the first and last day of the 2002 season. The roster is made up completely of protected (14) and drafted (16) players, without a single player added through trade or free agency except for a couple Disabled List additions who were dropped when the original player came back. In fact, there's just four players who were with the team on Draft Day who aren't still there: Rey Ordonez, Adam Kennedy, Grant Roberts and Eric Cammack, all released after spring training.

Like the Cutters, the Wolverines have been around for a long time, just not always in Wanaque: This is still very much the team that went to the playoffs last year, as the Vatican City Cardinals. And that team was descended directly from the Cheyenne Warhawks, an expansion team founded in 1993. The Warhawks were renamed the Norfolk Ewes in 1996; they became the Hillsborough Destroyers in 1998. Unlike the Cutters, however, the roster was passed down intact through each move. It's the fourth time this franchise has reached the playoffs, but they've never reached the World Series. Fourteen players have been with this franchise at one time or another, with 10 players on the roster for three or more seasons. Jeff Cirillo is the senior member OF the squad, having stuck around for seven straight seasons (and four name changes). Joe Girardi, a member OF the original '93 Warhawks, is back with this franchise for the first time in five seasons. There's also the case OF Cory Bailey, the only player to play for both DMBL teams owned by J. Marshall Knowsley -- the Wolverines and the Toledo Mutthens (1996-1999). That team would reach the playoffs two years ago as the Kentucky Hillbillies; they're now known as the Tijuana Banditos, Vancouver's first-round opponent!

Tijuana Banditos
The Banditos' roster is made up OF 12 protected players, 11 draftees, six free agents and one player acquired through trade (Tony Batista). They also made a trade before draft day, picking up Edgar Renteria for Craig Biggio. The Banditos' free agent signings included reliever Chad Bradford, who was drafted by the team, then released twice before finally sticking for the final two months of the season.

The Banditos, previously known as the Kentucky Hillbillies (2000-2001) and Toledo Mutthens (1996-1999), reached the playoffs two years ago, but were swept in the first round by Vancouver. That team is almost completely gone, with only three players (Ellis Burks, Vladimir Guerrero and Rey Sanchez) remaining. In fact, 18 players are making their debut with the Banditos this season, tying them with Hoboken and Vancouver for the most new players of any team in the post-season. Only Burks and Guerrero have been with the team for three or more seasons.

Owner Paul Barbosa had three previous teams in the DMBL, the Newark Crimewave (1991), Tampa Bay Sweat Sox (1992-1994) and the Lisbon Diabos (1997), but no current Bandito played for a previous Barbosa-owned team. Barbosa inherited the Mutthens from current Wolverines' owner J. Marshall Knowsley. Ironically, Knowsley's '96 Mutthens were built from the remnants of Barbosa's Sweat Sox, along with two other defunct teams.
