AA considering Hendriks as 5th starter

[ElNik2013]

If the team will be competitive, Melky and Rasmus will want to stay. Plus, if you slap QO on both of them, they will probably stay another year.

Which goes back again to starters that we need.

 

 

Have you looked at salary commitments for next year BEFORE re-signing FA-to-be and picking up options?

 

I suggest you do before you take it for granted that they can afford Melky and Rasmus even just on the QO salary. That would be like 28M for 2 players.

Blanks IS gone. He's a RH platoon bat at 1st for the A's now.

 

That was completed? I knew it was going to be completed at some point but wasn't sure if it was official. Very good pickup for the A's.

Rasmus is on 7m and Melky on 8m right now. To QO both you only need 13m extra.
