While that lineup would be very good, it simple isn't realistic financially. The linup alone cost about 55M. Assuming that the Sox sign no pitchers(which is something they need to do) the payroll would still be 88M, which is unrealistic.

I would guess you are a little high on Aaron as his is not arb-eligible yet. Also we get $2 million next year for Contreras from the Yankees.

Rowand is arbitration eligible as is eric byrnes. I have heard that they should both get about the same 1.5-3 million.
