My top 5 salaried hitters and the alternatives:
Burrell 36 (D Lee 31, P Wilson 32, Gonzalez 28, Sheffield 37)
Alomar 29 (Vidro 30, Castillo 22)
Renteria 25 (okay, I got one right)
Kotsay 23 (Furcal 19, Biggio 20, Lofton 20)
R Taylor 16 (Alou 19, Finley 18, Payton 17)

of course, I could have also gotten:

Green 39, Piazza 28, Larson 18, Jordan 19, Vaughn 16

Pitching:
retained Dejean, Oliver Perez and Spooneybarger for two years at 10 (Padilla
14, B Myers 3, Ishii 2, Suppan 1, Redman 3, Trachsel 6, Livan 1, Sheets 8,
Ramirez 8, Penny 6, Zambrano 5, Eaton 6...detecting a trend?)

then spent 21 for Izzy (Looper 16, Worrell 8)

...but I could also have gotten

Nen 22, Alfonseca 10, Stewart 10, Armas 13, M WIlliams 26, Ainsworth 9

Had to make a last minute surge to finish ninth.

moral of the story: some days you get the bar, some days the bar he gets you

Great keeper list for the next two years, though.
