The Mets starting nine have a combined salary of $24,476,000. Add the subs (including don't call me K-Rod) and the total is $34,852,167.
So they can't compare to the Yankees 80 million dollar infield, but that ain't chicken scratch. Those 13 guys make about what the Florida Marlins entire roster will make in 2009.
I'm gonna do my Mike Lupica impression:
Shonn Greene is a running back out of Iowa. At 5'11" and 227 lbs, he's undersized and was slow at the combines. Something tells me that he could stand in the batter's box and waggle his bat just as effectively as Gary Sheffield. Sign him up, Omar.
While we are on the subject of Shawn Green, it was a little bit sad early this season when Kevin Youkilis passed Art Shamsky bumping him off the Top 10 list.

Hank Greenberg 331
Shawn Green 328
Sid Gordon 202
Al Rosen 192
Mike Lieberthal 150
Mike Epstein 130
Steve Yeager 102
Brad Ausmus 79
Ryan Braun 76
Kevin Youkilis 72
Tied for 11th place, Art Shamsky/Lou Boudreau 68
That's a pretty good team for a bunch of nice Jewish boys.
The list was compiled by JewishMajorLeaguers.com. I updated it for 2009.
For the sake of fairness and for you D-Rod haters, here's the rest of the Mets:
ROB = runners on base
OBI = runners on base that you drive home
OBI% - percentage of the runners on base that you drive home.
So, David Wright has gotten up with 54 runners on base. He has driven 5 of them home. That's 9.3%
Carlos Delgado has driven home 20% of the runners on base when he steps to the plate.
Ryan Church and Sheffield have actually been less clutch than D-Rod.
