Hypothetical Mariners and Royals Combo

So, one of my good friends is from Kansas City and is an avid Royals fan.  Today he asked the hypothetical question, how good would a 25 man roster of Mariners and Royals be.

Having a case on the Monday's I hopped onto Fangraphs.com to do some number crunching.  I used 2008 win values to see how exactly how this team would do.  Full roster can be found here http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pFS0Uk-sE2lI98LXrMjBxKA&hl=en.

The rundown is this team record is projected at 103-59 with a salary right around 100 million.  Getting about 25 vaule wins form the pitching staff and 30 value wins from the offense.  I think this is a pretty good team, not sure if this will interest anyone but me, but hey, the 2009 MariRoyals are awesome.
