Did our FO miscalculate and misjudge salaries

[COGPK]

I read a lot about how the Braves have freed up money in the Heyward deal but nothing is ever mentioned about losing Santana's salary. I know we weren't obligated to it for 2015, but it is off the books.

We were 12th in baseball last year. I don't think we'll be top 3rd though. Not with the 2 LA teams, 2 NY teams, Philly, Washington, San Fran, Detroit, Texas, Cards, and Cubs in the league.

Actually we were 14th to start the season, and the Santana signing (which many speculate put us over budget) allowed us to rise about 4 slots.

I didn't think of that. So there's $25m. That's plenty to go and get some hitting.

Or, you know, another $25m of pitching. You, me and BJ in the outfield.
