Boston Red Sox 2006 Player Values
Here is a sample of player values listed The Baseball Economist. The book includes values for every player in 2005 and 2006. Because I’m appearing on Boston radio this morning 890-AM ESPN (The Russ Francis Show), I thought I’d list the 2006 Red Sox values.
Boston Red Sox (2006) Hiitters Value (in millions) David Ortiz $17.09 Manny Ramirez $14.44 Kevin Youkilis $8.11 Mike Lowell $6.81 Mark Loretta $5.04 Trot Nixon $4.54 Wily Mo Pena $3.63 Jason Varitek $3.01 Coco Crisp $2.79 Alex Gonzalez $2.37 Gabe Kapler $0.96 Eric Hinske $0.86 Alex Cora $0.80 Carlos Pena $0.36 Doug Mirabelli $0.26 David Murphy $0.23 Josh Bard $0.18 J.T.

Does the Ramirez value include defense? (see http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/18/sports/baseball/18score.html )
No, it does not.
