You overpaid for Russel Martin and Josh Willingham.There are only 12 teams. There must be someone with more upside then them.(Bourjos, Raburn, Logan Morrison for Willingham) (Arencibia, yadier Molina, Thole for C) I think you did pretty good with the pitchers on that budget. I don't have a problem rostering any of those $1 pitchers.
