Woohoo! Finished at last. Final tally is $108 million. Nothing wasted on the pitching (1,574 IP) but about $8 mil in wasted bench AB. So that's another team that will play at exactly $100 mil. SpotSell totally correct on the money prediction again.
Pitching is meh, though I managed to get one ace, Higuera, and a solid closer in Holdsworth. The real excitement here is the hitting. My entire lineup averages about a .300/.400/.550 slash line. C+/B- defense.
Oddity on the bench: Needed a backup catcher, so I went with John Wathan. Odd because he has 62 speed with 17/20 SB. So he's also my pinch runner.
