The problem is, that's STARTER money on this team. Why have 4 guys for 2 positions all w/ starter money?
touche .... but that is starter money for this year .... but it won't be for long. We "have been told" that the payroll for next year should be around 70 mil or so .... adding what belly and meat are going to get next year plus this years payroll is about 45, then kearns' raise puts us at 50 ... that leaves 20 million for 1-3 players (my guess is 2,a cf and a pitcher) to cover the difference.
4 guys, 2 positions, 2 seats on the DL ...
