The numbers gotten off of NSBB are wrong.
Z, Aramis, Soriano, Lilly, and Fuk are all making a mill less than what they have on there. Shark is half a mill less too. Dempster is either at 8 or 12, depending on how it's figured in. His actual salary is 8, but he has a 4 mill signing bonus.
AZ PHIL has a much better grasp on our salary situation honestly. We are at 130.975 right now, with Demp counting 12 mill, Bradley at 10, Blanco's buyout, and the money sent over in the Marquis swap.
We still have to sign Gregg, Wuertz, and Cedeno.......Phil allots 6.5 total for that.
And then we have to re-up the guys who aren't arb eligible yet. (Theriot, Marmol, Soto, Fontenot, Marshall, Guzman and Hoff) Unsure where Bako fits in, I'm assuming he'll be a non-roster invitee myself......
Bottom line is this: Once we add the non arb and the arby guys to our payroll, were right at 140, unless Demp is only counted at 8, which leaves us 4 shy obviously......Hendry seems to think we'll get a bump from whoever the new owner is, so I definitely see us adding a SP at the very least, if it's a stopgap guy(and that's my honest thought) maybe we'll be able to add a Roberts or something like that as well.
