Bling Bling I

The Yankees, Red Sox series that just ended was one of the most exciting series I have ever seen (nothing beats the 2001 World Series though). Anyhow, watching some of the star power on the field... I got to thinking about the player salaries for teams making the playoffs. So, some figures: My Source
Sum of player salaries on the playoff roster
- Yankees - $164 million, $6.56 million average
- Red Sox - $116 million, $4.46 million average
- Cardinals - $92.4 million, $3.70 million average
- Angels - $87.7 million, $3.25 million average
- Braves - $87.4 million, $3.65 million average
- Dodgers - $80.6 million, $2.98 million average
- Astros - $60.1 million, $2.40 million average
- Twins - $52.2 million, $1.86 million average
Some of the higher priced players not on playoff rosters included Jason Giambi ($12.5 million), Hideo Nomo ($9.0 million), Aaron Sele ($8.7 million), and Andy Pettitte ($5.5 million).
Well, the research for this post took entirely too long... and my shift at work is over. Time to go home and watch the Cardinals and the Astros play each other in game 7!
