    So what do you do with the extra money?

    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.

    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.

    We saved 15M from today's trade. Offer to double BJ's salary this year if we can lose a year off his contract.

    I'm assuming you mean pay his last season's contract this year?

    If so, that's not a sound financial strategy. (A dollar today is not worth a dollar tomorrow)

    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."

    All you need is Hart and Cox.

    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.
