I thought I'd put together an underpaid team that could win a pennant. I splurged and let four of the players earn as much as half a million dollars; the highest-paid player is Frank Thomas, at $900K. I cut some players, like Kenny Lofton, Chris Hoiles, Keith Mitchell, Tim Wakefield, and a bunch of pitchers, all of whom could have arguably made the team better at a cost of $1 million for the lot of them. The total team salary is $7,781,500, averaging slightly over $300K a player. If that's too steep, you can dump Thomas and Bagwell, replacing them with Paul Sorrento and a minimum wager to save a bit over a million dollars, and still have one of the best teams in the majors. p, Juan Guzman, 500 p, Mussina, 400 p, Castillo, 250 p, Eldred, 175 p, Rhodes, 155 p, Militello, 118 rp, Rojas, 300 rp, Beck, 250 rp, Melendez, 235 rp, Hernandez, 185 rp, Nied, 150 c, Rodriguez, 275 c, Piazza, 126 1b, Thomas, 900 1b, Bagwell, 655 2b, Knoblauch, 500 2b, Barberie, 190 3b, Gomez, 312.5 3b, Palmer, 250 ss, Listach, 350 ss, Pena, 170 lf, Gonzalez, 525 cf, Lankford, 290 rf, R.Sanders, 275 of, Plantier, 245 -- ted frank | "However Teel should have mentioned that though thf2@kimbark.uchicago.edu | his advice is legally sound, if you follow it the u of c law school | you will probably wind up in jail." standard disclaimers | -- James Donald, in misc.legal
