InField:
Prince Fielder: $670,000 a year
Dustin Pedroia: $457,000 a year
Jimmy Rollins: $5 million a year, last years NL MVP
Evan Longoria: little under $3 million a year, great young talent
Chone Figgins: $3.5 million a year, can play anywhere
Geovany Soto: $401,000 a year
Kevin Youkilis: $3 million a year, can play multiple positions
Yadier Molina: $1.8 million a year
OutField:
Carlos Gomez: $395,000 and only 22 years old
Ryan Braun: $455,00 and 24 years old
Josh Hamilton: $400,000 a year
Curtis Granderson: $1 million a year
Vernon Wells: $3.7 million
Starting Pitchers:
Jon Lester: $421,000 and only 24
Brandon Webb: $5.5 million
Ervin Santan: $420,000 and 25 years old
Cole Hamels: $500,000 24 years old
Tim Lincecuum: $405,000 24 years old
Bullpen:
Chad Billingsley: $415,000 a year 24 years old
Carlos Marmol: $430,000 a year 25 years old
Justin Masterson: contract unavailable but only 23 years old
J.P Howell: $400,000 and 25 years old
Joba Chamberlain: $390,000 and 23 years old
Hideki Okajima: $1.2 million a year
Closer: Jonathan Papelbon $775,000 a year
These figures are from this year with a lot of young players not making a lot of money but this team with these contracts is only about $35 million.
This team has a great mix of speed and power. The pitching staff has a great mix of lefties and righties and its a solid bullpen with 2 lefty options.
My starting lineup would look something like this:
Jimmy Rollins SS
Dustin Pedroia 2B
Prince Fielder 1B
Josh Hamilton RF
Ryan Braun LF
Kevin Youkilis DH (If AL team)
Evan Longoria 3B
Geovany Soto C
Carlos Gomez CF(giving myself a second leadoff batter with great speed)

i'm not gonna give all 25 but i will give you a starting lineup
1. shane victorino - LF (PHI)
2. ian kinsler - 2B (TEX)
3. grady sizemore - CF (CLE)
4. alex rodriguez - 3B (NYY)
5. james loney - 1B (LAD)
6. corey hart - RF (MIL)
7. cliff floyd - DH (TB)
8. dioner navarro - C (TB)
9. john mcdonald - SS (TOR)
SP - jon lester (BOS)
*this is my lineup on an average payroll, i would possibly have an alright rotation but clearly have sh!tty bench players lmao*
p.s - there is no way you would be able to afford that kind of lineup with all those high payroll pitchers. (webb, lincecum, burnett, nathan, broxton would all be killers to your payroll)
