C- Russell Martin 500,000

SS- Hanley Ramirez- 439,000
3B- David Wright 5,250,000
LF- Ryan Braun- 455,000
CF- Michael Bourn- 396,000- I need a good leadoff hitter. Great young hitter who will be great with time. Already MLB leader in steals.
RF-Nate McLouth 425,000- capable of being a 20 20 player year in and out. .300 hitter too.

hitters total 8,757,000

SP-Jake Peavy 6,500,000
SP- Brandon Webb 5,500,000

RP-Heath Bell 420,000

RP-Tony Pena 405,500 (needed a long reliever)
CP-Takashi Saito 2,000,000
bullpen salary- 4,101,000

BN/DH if we have one- Prince Fielder (670,000)
BN- Geovany Soto 401,000 ( I would plan on a complete split of Martin and Soto. C is the hardest position and you would love to have 2 greats)
BN-Chris Young 406,000 - POTENTIAL
BN-Jay Bruce
BN-Ryan Theriot 428,000 (utility)
total- $28,060,500

I have Gonzalez in because the Prince is the worst fielding first baseman in the MLB. I can't have him at first, but he would be my primary DH or PH.

Catcher is a push, I agree.

I think with first base combined I take that.

Peds is a good player, don't get me wrong, but the point of the game is to score runs. Uggla produces MUCH more runs than D-Peds a year. he can drive in runners and is capable of 30 homers. pedroia can definatley get on base, but I don't see the point of high average low RBIs and homeruns. Mabey thats just me.

Delmon is a good hitter and I truly appreciate how he goes to work every day, but Braun is the next big thing.

I'll give you Upton, but I NEEDED speed.

Hamilton over McClouth too.

sorry man, but i gotcha at pitcher lol.

Webb demolishes Verlander

Peavy crushes Shields

Hamels destroys felix

lincecum no competition over Greinke

Volquez and McGowan is close, but cmon, look at the rest of the rotation.

Bullpen is pretty close, I think we both have top tier bullpens and it really isn't worth going into too much detail.

Yeah I was suprised the NL payroll too haha.

Yeah, you had a great team too. The only problem is I have the Marlins in my league and you had the Yanks. Good TD though.

Prince wouldn't be getting too much time and I'm sure he'd leave, but any time we had a DH hes in. Soto and Martin would basically split 81 games even. I'm sure they would appreciate the time off and if not, one would leave.

my pitching is really the thing that sets our teams apart. I mean don't get me wrong you have good pitching but my pitchers is basically the all-star team.

I forgot to mention that Bruce would probably take McClouth's place when he started to slump and he would be the future of my team. Same goes with Young and Bourn.

Theriot is my utlilty man. ANYONE needs a day off, theres Theriot. I think it would be a safe bet he would have over half of the games started.
