I was so excited on Tuesday for the #PowerAlley Dream Team, that I did not catch how the salaries were going to be determined. I just assumed that it would be average value considering how some teams really backload their contracts.
But, alas, that's not the case, so Giancarlo Stanton, at a meager $6.5M (out of his $325M contract) is available to me.
I also was able to upgrade at shortstop and catcher, while at the same time, I cut back on a few bucks at RP.
Here's my new Dream Team based on salaries for this year.
Most of my selections remain the same, so for reasons, go here: http://jimmysjargon.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-jargons-version-of-poweralley-dream.html
For the new players, I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Lucroy and Desmond are among the best at their position, especially at the plate. And, Stanton needs no explanation. He's a huge upgrade from J.D. Martinez.
I added Dellin Betances because I didn't even consider him the first time around because I for some reason just assumed he was younger than 25. Once I found out he was 26 — thanks @TheCubanDynasty — I had to add him.
