Hart said the payroll is supposed to be 110.
We're only around 88-90 or so.
Not many bats out there.

1.) Use minimal $ on FAs. Focus on maximizing value.
2.) Be open to sending a decent amount of $ to deal CJ.
3.) Make a serious run at Moncada.
4.) Sit on excess money until an opportunity presents itself. For example, taking on a one-year salary dump at the deadline in exchange for prospects.
Buy a 5th starter, a lottery ticket, and a delivery van full of crullers.

Blow it all on a stay-cation.
Shields and Aoki!
I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Alexi Ogando

Moncada has to be target 1 IMO - our scouts have been following him around like he's the head cheerleader and they're a pack of 15 year old virgins.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Pay off BJ to quit. Give the rest to Harang to build a Golden Corral in his basement.

Use it to pay for that bad BJ we got.
We saved 15M from today's trade. Offer to double BJ's salary this year if we can lose a year off his contract.

Hart on the international slot money: "we gained a little more of the international money. We've signed eight guys already with the [$800,000 received via a trade with the Cubs in November]. We've got three more guys we want to get and we were running short on cash. I think this will help us."
I read that the braves said uggla's money is already off the books. Has anyone heard anything about this?
I guess it's plausible that ownership decided to just pay it off last year rather than this season. It really wouldn't matter since I don't see a FA worth giving big money to this winter, now next off-season there is a plethora of options and Uggla's money would be "off the books" by then no matter what.

How about Melvin plus 15M to the Cubs for Edwin Jackson.
