Ive been using the ESPN site to see what the players are making annually, and have given every single player at the MLB level at least 400k.

I did simulate just to see what FA players I would get with 23 teams done, and I saw Jim Thome, Manny, Griffey Jr... essentially a bunch of real old players. The best available pitcher was still Pedro.
So for the Yankees you have these players salaries at the listed amounts?

- A-Rod $33,000,000
- Tex $20,625,000
- Jeter $31,600,000
- Damon $13,000,000
- Nady $6,500,000
-Swisher $5,400,000
- Posada $13,000,000
- Molina $2,125,000
- Rivera $15,000,000
- Pettite $5,000,000
- Burnett $16,500,000
- Sabathia $15,285,714

I mean that should put the Yankees almost into the red and that's just 12 off the 25-man roster.

For example: CC's salary in the game/contract screen should read $15.28.

I don't see how you guys are not getting the same results.
