If you would have told me I could get my all-time fav - Oakland Rickey this late/deep, I would have done things differently. Now he may go undrafted. At least I have NYY Rickey.

Birch Smith - Oakland.

Of my 9 starting batters, I was able to use 3 of their (arguably) best seasons. (Molitor/Hamilton/Kent). The other 6 I had to drop down to their 3rd, 4th, or 5th best season. (Garciaparra/I-Rod/Rickey/Sosa/Keith H/Ventura)

What a difference moving from $120Mil to $115

I wonder if we'll go down to $110M next season???

I am VERY much open to input about changing the cap (either direction). See link below for a good place.

I also added a couple of ideas on how to balance the draft so that we don't need to "snake" but can instead distribute the randomly drawn pick location such that people's picks are less clustered.

17:30 CST pick - Troy Neel
He sounds like a deadbeat POS according to Wikipedia, but he fills out the roster:
$114,999,260
