Pardon some rosterbation:
Projected 2012 salary structure (rough math from Cot's)
OF - Snider/Joey Bats/Davis/backup = $20M combined
IF - Lawrie/Escobar/Hill/Lind/Hechavaria = $19M combined
C - Arencibia + veteran = $1M
SP - Romero/Morrow/Drabek/Cecil = 12-15M
RP - too many options to guess, but likely no less than 10
2011 Trade candidates: MacDonald, Edwin, veteran relievers
Expired & Gone: Molina, Rivera
================================================== ========
So we're looking at $65M for the returning roster, flipping some veterans and moving some main peices (Hill, Francisco) could drop it to 50 with most the main roster intact.
This team has more flexibility then I know what to do with - I can't get past adding Pujols to this roster.
