Brandon Webb

Tim Lincecum

Chad Billingsley

AJ Burnett

Scott Baker

Joe Nathan

Jonathan Broxton

Jose Arredondo

Taylor Buscholz

JP Howell

Joe Beimel

Leo Nunez

Justin Morneau

Dustin Pedroia

Stephen Drew

Evan Longoria

Andre Ethier

Jacoby Ellsbury

Corey Hart

Maicer Izturis

Mark DeRosa

Taylor Teagarden

    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)
