January 7, 200620 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 07:35 AM) Wow, so Houston did outspend us. mostly thanks to the what 18 million they paid Clemens.
January 7, 200620 yr #1 #2 #4 #7 #8 #12 #13 #16 Those are the playoff teams from last year. The one team who probably deserves the most credit on there is Cleveland - 93 wins on a payroll less than the left side of the Yankees infield makes. That is incredible. For as much as everyone hates them on this site...much kudos goes to the Indians from me. That's remarkable.

January 7, 200620 yr Good to be the second-lowest team in payroll from the playoffs last year. Then of course, winning it all.

I guess if you call the Padres a playoff team. They would not have gotten in if they were in any other Division. The Dodgers and Giants were in the same Division and had a higher payroll than the Sox.
