I like your suggestion on the Freeman extension. I know you were pretty against extending Freeman (for good reason), but that would be a reasonable window to keep him around and then maybe go from there.
I wonder if Duvall would be considered too expensive to bring back, especially if we have to plug other holes with a lowered payroll. Think about it, you're paying him 6 million (projected arb number) to be a short side of a platoon. Not sure how much the lefty in this platoon will cost, but it could be expensive quick. Once again, if payroll is down big time, and Markakis wants to keep playing, might have to explore getting him on the cheap unfortunately.
