All of that salary should be off the books and those spots should and can be filled with cheaper in-house options.
They will have the money to sign two FA pitchers of quality in the offseason without blowing their salary ceiling.
Win a bit and see what happens with the attendance, Mr. Glass. Then bump up the payroll again.

This is a good point. Should be able to get two guys in the 10-13 range with a modest payroll bump.
OK. I'm sticking with this positive thought for the rest of the night.
