Well here is what I came up with for the Cleveland indians


C Al Lopez 61 Games 21.9 WAR HOF
1B Keith Hernandez 43g 60.4
2B Jeff Kent 39g 55.4
3B Josh Donaldson 16g 42.4
SS Granny Hamner 27g 19
LF Frank Robinson 100g 107.3 HOF
CF Sam Rice 97g 52.6 HOF
RF Dave Winfield 46g 64.2 HOF

429 Games 405.8 WAR

So I came in way under budget.


P Cy Young 63 Games 245 Wins 78.3 WAR - (after 1900) HOF 511 total and 165.6 WARtotal
P Steve Carlton 23g 329 84.1 HOF
P Phil Niekro 56g 318 96.9 HOF
P Jack Morris 23g 254 43.5 HOF
P Tommy John 31g 288 62.1
P Hoyt Wilhelm 32g 143 49.8 HOF
P Hal Newhouser 28g 207 60 HOF

256 Games 1,784 Wins 474.7 WAR

I had to leave these guys off the staff because I couldn't get them in under the 300

P Bert Blyleven 104 G 287 W 96.0 WAR HOF
P Dennis Eckersley 103 G 197 W 390 S 62.2 WAR HOF
P Gaylord Perry 134 G 314 W 93 WAR HOF
P Mark Langston 25 G 179 W 50 WAR

And then there is Satchel Paige
P Satchel Paige 52 G 28 W 10.1 WAR However can you imagine the numbers if accurate Negro League stats were included?

OK. Let me try to finish this...

Montreal Expos (Only Montreal franchise)

Pitching (233)
Pedro Martinez (118),
Oil Can Boyd (50)
Randy Johnson (11),
Lee Smith (25),
Bartolo Colon (17),
Ted Lilly (9),
Ron Darling (3)/233

Offense (719)
C - Rick Cerone (33)
1B - Pete Rose (95)
2B - Dave Cash (388) - 3 time AS. 25 WAR Only player on this list i never heard of.
SS - Alex Gonzalez (35)
3B - Craig Nettles (80)
OF - Roberto Kelly (24)
OF - Felipe Alou (17)
OF - Maury wills (47)

Dont like Cerone, but cant find anything better. If Todd Zeile (34) counts as a C, he would work nicely, but didnt play catcher for montreal.

Cash was on those great 1970s Pirates teams if I recall. Took over for Mazeroski.

I know that one only because I remember being fascinated by the story that drove cobb from the tigers. He and speaker together (even at their advanced age) had to be a helluva pairing.

Someone should take the Braves. There's a pretty exiting player for super cheap. You might have to dig a little.
Big Ed Walsh? If not him, then you're surely talking about Matt Tuiasosopo's -0.3 WAR for just $3...

Other deals I thought of last night and looked up today to confirm would be Piazza's 59.6 WAR at $5 for the Marlins and Doc Gooden's 52.9 WAR at $1 for Houston (although I didn't even remember he was on the Astros for one game during his last season, I was thinking about his short stint ($8) with the Devil Rays that same year.)
Nope. You should know this one maybe though.

Great one...I forgot Buehrle was a Marlin. He provides a nice little $/WAR.

I attempted Tampa Bay but I was leaving too much money on the table offensively (Manny Ramirez and Julio Franco at I believe a combined $6 was NICE, plus Boggs) and the pitching was atrocious, even with Doc Gooden at $8.

This has got to be one of the better teams though, right? Ryan, Spahn, Pedro pitching. Henderson and Mays at the top of the lineup. Few in any scrubs.
