yeah next year will be his last

next year could also be Huddy's last. He has a 9M club option for 2013

I would've disagreed with you a year ago

now, I tend to agree

no reason to have a Huddy at 9, when you can have a delgado or viz at 400,000

Hanson?

Jurrjens will probably be traded I'd assume.

When are JHey and Freeman's done?

And Beachy?

We still have Hanson for another 4 years after this one, I believe

J Hey will have 4 years

Freeman will have 5

Prado has 2

McCann will be a FA in 2 years after this one

this is when they will all hit free agency. Obviously, their contracts will be worth much more during their 3 arbitration years

it would be nice to iron out some long term contracts early with these guys, to save money overall

I still think we'll have money to get a 15-20 mil guy.

doubtful, but maybe

this front office just doesn't spend money on big free agents

I don't know if we'll have a need for a 15-20M guy anyways

we have our middle 5 guys in the lineup set in stone for quite a while

I'm assuming we pay Prado

1.
2. Prado
3. J hey
4. Mac
5. Uggla
6. Freeman
7.
8.

obviously, you can mix and match the order of those 5, but they will be the middle of the order

we are just going to have to find the best guys to fill the other 3 spots, but we're not going to pay a guy that much to be a 1, 7, or 8 hole hitter

Just because that's the forecast lineup doesn't mean they can't go get an Evan Longoria type guy and stick them at 3-4-5.

Who would these type guys be? Because Evan Longoria himself signed a ridiculously team friendly deal with the Rays a few years ago.

It just blows my mind that we'll be cutting loose of McOut, KK, then Lowe and possibly Hudson, AND most likely Chipper...

...And we won't be able to go get a big name?

Heyward, Freeman, Kimbrel, Beachy, Venters, Hanson, etc. are all making 400k. They won't make 400k their whole careers

I am hoping the reports that team will be sold sometime soon are accurate. Then hopefully someone who is willing to spend money will buy it. If we want to keep our core of young players long term we will have to up our payroll considerably.
