The Worst Team $200m can buy

[mweir145]

Put Eric Hinske on the list as one of your bench players...

[BritSox]

They are...i'm not sure whether to count his salary, or just what he's costing the O's. He's definitely in. Oh, and a couple of M's, Boone and Beltre, to fill out the IF. I think from hereonin we might have to concentrate more on the suck and less on the salary, as we can't be far off breaking 200m already.

Oh, and Milton is comparatively underpaid at $5.3m this year...still a lot of suck for your buck, so i s'pose he's in.

C-Piazza
1B Thome
2B Boone
3B Beltre
SS Guzman
RF Sosa
CF Bernie
LF?

SP Brown
SP Milton

still not sure whether foulke or Troy is the worse value closer...hell, if we can pile up enough money elsewhere, we might be able to afford a REALLY sucky closer.

LF...Bonds...doesn't he have like zero home runs????

Frank Thomas could be your DH at $8M this year. He couldn't hit a lick, although when he did actually get a hit it went out. Judgement call as to whether he belongs.

Other guys not mentioned yet worth nowhere near what they're making:
Bonds $22M
Jeter $19.6M
Mussina $19M
Schilling $14.5M
Larry Walker $12.6M
Posada $11M
Pavano $9M
Renteria $8M
Foulke $7.5M
Glavine $10.7M
Kaz Matsui $7M
Salmon $10.1M
G. Anderson $9.6M
Edgardo Alfonso $7.5M
Durham $7.2M
Wood $9.5M

This should help fill out the roster. I'll look for more if we need to...

EDIT: This is no way means that I think all of these players "suck". They're just being paid way too much IMO.

Manny's not paid too much?

If ARod's not paid too much, than Manny's not paid too much. I actually think they're both paid too much, but that's neither here nor there.

Ummm Bagwell is getting 18M... I'd say that's worse than Thome.

[Big Pimpin]

Ummm Bagwell is getting 18M... I'd say that's worse than Thome.

I agree that Bags should be the 1B.

[blankman]

Sosa, no doubt at $17.9 M

Is he really getting paid that much? I knew it was a lot but 17.9 million is nothing short of highway robbery.

Some of these GM's have absolutely no idea.

That's his salary according to ESPN.com

[JTWood]

Where's Chan Ho Pizzark at? Shouldn't he be on this list?

Did anyone mention Kevin Brown?
