Stable Roster?

Normally I would think that a team starting a string of three consecutive World Series Championships would have a pretty stable roster. But the 1972 Oakland A's used 32 position players and 15 pitchers. Of these players, 13 never played in the major leagues again.

Is there a World Series Champion that had more than 13 players on the roster that did not play again in the major leagues?

Update:

In response to Jarrod, no. I was doing some research for a book and looked at the 1972 Oakland A's roster on www.baseball-reference.com I just noticed how many players on that roster never played another season. It took about 10 minutes.
