I've been debating writing this article for quite a few seasons, but decided this was the year to finally do it.
The premise is simple, build a roster composed of all free agents from the current crop. For this first crack at it, I'll go with a team payroll of $100 mil mainly because I'll be filling the team without many 500k players.
C Mario Medina ($9,375,000)
1B Glenn Davis ($1,100,000)
2B Brian Merritt ($4,400,000)
SS Ty Vance ($8,500,000)
3B David Ortiz ($2,400,000)
LF Alfonso Tellez ($16,600,0000)
CF David Segura ($2,200,000)
RF Ken Lawrence ($11,000,000)
DH
Bench 1. C Roberto Cabral ($500,000) 2. MI Javier Gonzalez ($950,000) 3. OF Porter Wilson ($1,200,0000 4. OF Bradley Hatcher ($5,750,000)
Offense Total: $63,975,000
SP Albert Garcia ($10,000,000)
SP Ralph Berose ($1,600,000)
SP Mike Broome ($700,000)
SP Yu-De Huang ($4,600,00)
SP Jeff Lewis ($1,600,000)
RP Gabriel Burdikin ($500,000)
RP Jim Arnold ($1,800,000)
CL Alden Jackson ($10,700,000)
RP Carlos Martinez ($2,200,000)
RP David Hankins ($950,000)
RP Matt Kaiser ($750,000)
RP Chris Maurice ($2,200,000)
Pitching Total:$37,600,000
Total $101,575,000
I was shooting for $100 mil, but with the first crack getting me to just slightly over has me satisfied for now. Some of these players will sign for well more than their asking price now, but there are also guys on this list that will sign for much less. I still need a final bench player to round out my offense with 13 players too.
What do you think of the roster? What do you like/dislike? Let me know your thoughts on my team in the comments section.
I'll do another post about the batting order in the near future.
