blast from the past

[Minnesota Twins]

digging in basement and came across a folder with old baseball stuff. My roster dated 12.5.07 highlights...

1b - Albert Pujols on 13 mil for 4 yrs
Ryan Howard on 11 mil for 5 yrs
2b - Brandon Phillips 9 mil for 3 yrs
ss - JOse Reyes 12 mil for 5 yrs, backup was Ryan Theriot!
3b - Hank Blalock $325k for 4 yrs
my pitching was cheap crap headlined salary wise by
Oliver Perez for 2 mil and 4 yrs
Bronson Arroyo, Sean MArcum, CJ Wilson, and Gil Meche were all less than a mil to finish rotation
Rp - big spender was Aaron Heilman for 1 mil and 3 yrs

Shortly after I traded Pujols before the season because I panicked about rumored elbow problems, don't remember what I got back just that I traded a stud.
