I saw that and thought the same thing.
I am thinking I may turn this into a contest.
I have a few things I wouldn't mind giving away and I could make it like a week long thing (throw out a different prize every day).
Not sure how I want to "reward' people for their rosters, but I am sure i can come up with something.
Be looking for a contest thread soon.....

Yep. I'd like to see how Manny reacts to it.
Plus I was that far down on my roster and I had a LOT of money left.

I went with a 12 man pitching staff because I figured with the starting rotation I wouldn't need a 7 man bullpen. The bullpen and bench were the hardest to put together.

Went over by a little less than $200,000, but it's hard finding decent switch hitters out there. I mean just look at the salaries for the starting lineup.

Here's my shot....
C – Joe Mauer – $6,250,000
1B – Justin Morneau - $8,400,000
2B – Brandon Phillips - $2,937,500
SS – Hanley Ramirez - $439,000

RF – Matt Holliday - 9,500,000
SP – Roy Halladay - $10,000,000

BN – Rod Barajas - $700,000
BN – Jayson Werth - $1,700,000
Total Salary $85,367,333
So I have $4+ million to plug holes caused by injuries.
Tried to have a “realistic” team that would not have too many stars on bench or cheap closers filling my bullpen. (JENKS)

Better defender: Berkman .996 Fld% Tex .994 Fld%
Younger: Meh, not sure what that has to do with anything.
Better hitter: Berkman - .312 BA, .420 OBP Tex - .308 BA, .410 OBP (Berkman beat him in almost every category even STOLEN BASES LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: )
Cheaper: Only by two mil, which at that amount of salary isn't a big diff.
Berkman has also proven himself in the playoffs multiple times.
Tex is a solid choice but in my opinion it is insane to pick him over Berkman.

I like him a LOT, but I am a bigger fan of Soria, then his.
Soria is a COMPLETE stud, whereas I think Capps will settle into the 2nd tier of closers (not a bad thing, jsut kind of a quiet, competent closer).
