Outside the Top 50: Building a team of free agents

The premise of the article is this: historically, as a small market team, its too risky to try to build a team around the top available free agents. If you give $20 million a year over six years to a player who is a bust, you're ship is sunk. So my thought was this: what is the best team money could buy using only free agents who are outside the top 50 list that we created here on Fire Brand? Call it the "leftovers game," and show us your picks! Bonus points if you figure in approximate payroll of the team.
