I don’t see why not. We should be getting a bump in payroll and with DK coming off the books that’s 14 million right there. I really wish we wouldn’t have taken on Melancon’s whole contract. They’ll have to do something to lengthen the lineup and upgrade catcher so that would solve 2 issues.
I don't see Duvall being brought back. If Neck returns I can see AA bringing a manager that actually would platoon them.

Wouldn't mind seeing if we could swing a deal for Mitch Hanniger after an injury-plagued down year. He'd be a cost-controlled RH bat, who would cost less than $1m.
That could give us an OF of Riley/Ender, Acuna, and Hanniger.
I'm not saying i wouldnt pay Cole, i just doubt AA is in that ballpark. If Cole doesnt have an opt out, those pitcher contracts are usually pretty bad on the backend of it. He's probably gonna surpass Price's contract, so i dont know if i'd do 7/220+.
The offense needs to be AA's focus, too many easy outs, gotta lengthen the lineup.

By the way.. I really do wonder what a home playoff games means to the team finances... I estimate at least $5M in additional revenue per game. Getting bounced in the LDS cost us likely at least 3 more playoff games... or at least $15M in revenue
I'd try to bring back Martin if the money is right, our pen got ****ed once he went down, and in the regular season, things sorted themselves out when he was there. Martin/Greene/MM is a very good backend, with everyone else behind them.
Sturg 33 said-- Markakis - $2M (0.4) coming off books.
Correct figure is 4 mil off books if option is not picked up. 6mil option minus 2 mil buy out if option is NOT picked up.
Another question asiked some where was about projected Arby figures. The "Change of mind set" thread spells out the arby figures.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

What a circlejerk sports are. I just watched a team I have invested hundreds of hours into get historically embarrassed, now I find myself two hours later estimating arbitration raises.
Wish I could quit.
