p  Livan Hernandez 2009 $500,000.
of Gary Sheffield  2009 $19,000,000.
p  Tim Redding 2009 $2,200,000.
mi Luis Castillo 2009 $3,500,000.

I am curious where you got these salaries from?  These are not listed like this on your roster?  It's probably a lot easier for you to just copy the lines straight out of your roster.

sorry

David, as a new GM making a lot of releases at one time, I feel it is appropriate to ask you to verify this move.  These players will be released to unrestricted free agency.  You are releasing your rights to them meaning you cannot sign them to a contract extension nor can you change any one of them to an RFA.  As A-Ram said, you have one RFA tag that you may place on a player.  I know you were interested in using that on Wagner.  If you verifying this post, theses moves will officially be processed.

i knew i was going to use my rfa tag once i realized that i had one and i couldn't decide who to use it on now i have decided to use it on john maine if that is ok.
