Assemble your Dream Line-up and Staff

[Flaxseed Oil]

Keep in mind, this is not a one-season lineup/staff...take into account future seasons.

Also, pick your ballpark that this team will be suited for...

you have a 125 Million dollar budget.... Go.

For the hell of it, we'll use a DH

I'll start:
Ballpark - AT&T, cause I love that place...

SS. Hanley Ramirez
2B. Chase Utley
1B. Mark Teixera
DH. Albert Pujols
3B. Evan Langoria
LF Josh Hamilton
RF. Jason Werth
C. Giovani Soto
CF. Curtis Granderson


SP - Felix Hernandez
SP - Cole Hamels
SP - Matt Cain
SP - Jon Lester
SP - Phil Hughes

CP - Joe Nathan

No way that team stays under a 125 million payroll.

Let's see the 2009 payroll:

you have a 125 Million dollar budget.... Go.



SS. Hanley Ramirez 5.5 M$ in 2009
2B. Chase Utley 11.2 M$ in 2009
1B. Mark Teixera 20.6 M$ in 2009
DH. Albert Pujols 14.4 M$ in 2009
3B. Evan Langoria 0.5 M$ in 2009
LF Josh Hamilton 0.5 M$ in 2009
RF. Jason Werth 2.5 M$ in 2009
C. Giovani Soto 0.5 M$ in 2009
CF. Curtis Granderson 3.5 M$ in 2009


SP - Felix Hernandez 3.8 M$ in 2009
SP - Cole Hamels 4.3 M$ in 2009
SP - Matt Cain 2.9 M$ in 2009
SP - Jon Lester 1.0 M$ in 2009
SP - Phil Hughes 0.4 M$ in 2009

CP - Joe Nathan 11.2 M$ in 2009

That give a 2009 payroll of 82.3 M$ without relievers and sub.

The same in 2011 (projection) :

SS. Hanley Ramirez 10.0 M$ in 2011
2B. Chase Utley 15.0 M$ in 2011
1B. Mark Teixera 22.0 M$ in 2011
DH. Albert Pujols 28.0 M$ in 2011
3B. Evan Langoria 8.0 M$ in 2011
LF Josh Hamilton 8.0 M$ in 2011
RF. Jason Werth 6.0 M$ in 2011
C. Giovani Soto 5.0 M$ in 2011
CF. Curtis Granderson 8.0 M$ in 2011


SP - Felix Hernandez 10.0 M$ in 2011
SP - Cole Hamels 7.5 M$ in 2011
SP - Matt Cain 7.5 M$ in 2011
SP - Jon Lester 10 M$ in 2011
SP - Phil Hughes 4.5 M$ in 2011

CP - Joe Nathan 10.0 M$ in 2011

That give a 2011 payroll of 160 M$ without relievers and sub and staff!

Ouch!

[Flaxseed Oil]

We have 2010 coming up.... you can't project having the same team on the field for 2011.

Subs and relievers don't factor into this... the thread gives you 125 million for a line-up and a rotation, and I am under ..for now!

Wow. Would that lineup cost less than $125M?

[zito75]

How do you leave Lincecum out of your rotation, especially in AT&T?

[TeixeiraFanatic]

1. Colby Rasmus CF $0.4M
2. Robinson Cano 2B $6M
3. Albert Pujols DH $14M
4. Mark Teixeira 1B $22M
5. Matt Holliday LF $17M
6. Evan Longoria 3B $3M
7. Justin Upton RF $0.5M
8. Yadier Molina C $3M
9. Elvis Andrus SS $0.4M

1. Chris Carpenter $13M
2. Johan Santana $19M
3. Zack Greinke $7M
4. Adam Wainwright $3M
5. Felix Hernandez $7M

CL. Andrew Bailey

That adds up to 116 million dollars.

Ballpark is Busch Stadium.
