2008 Atlanta Braves to finish.  Does it indicate a lack of good preparation when my first team chosen is probably my worst of the four?

How much salary is everybody spending?  Here's a breakdown of my salary (so far)...

1976 Reds: $35.7 million (6 starting offensive players)
2009 Cardinals: $40.1 million (3 SPs, 2 starting offensive players, 2 platoons/pinch hitter/defensive replacement)
2003 Dodgers:  $23.1 million (1 SP, 4 relievers, 1 platoon offensive player)
TBD

I have spent $100M so far of which $95M is "live".  With my last pick, I don't need a whole lot, but anticipate that I will end up $120-130M in total salary spent.

I'm going to be in the same neighborhood salary-wise.  I have spent $118M and still have to pick two reserve hitters.  I have about 1680 IP, so probably about $6M of that $118M is meaningless.  I'm not convinced that my team will be very good, but I am happy that I'm at least in the same salary range as y'all, gives me some hope!

Still bummed about losing out on the 1964 White Sox, I really wanted them with my second pick.

I now come in at $130M, but I have both excess innings and plate appearance.  Picking a park will be a dilemma, because I have 10 players w/ 20 or more homers, but 3 of my sp give up hrs at an alarming rate.  This round was the only round I did not get the team I realistically wanted.
