and i think the right prices on these guys will be about 18 mil for cj/josh...ian probably around 10/15 mil...sign elvis to at 8/10 mil for about 6 years(huge raise for him and avoid arb. and fa for awhile and he can get a bigger payday when he is 28-30....and i would give cruz about 8 mil( victor martinez gets 13 mil,konerko gets 12) and cruz is a little behind there numbers and that is because he cant stay healthy so 8 mil for him........64 mil a year estimate for those 5 guys and that could be on the high side.......so that would put us at 126 mil next year,then 97 mil with(young,ian,josh,cj,beltre,elvis,cruz) and then 81 mil in 2014.....so i think we can afford everyone of our guys and still have some wiggle room for added help

actually i just dbl checked its 62 mil next year so lower 2013 numbers by 4 mil

Ranger Rundown: Texas Rangers 40-Man Roster

It just doesn't include anybody after ST it seems, so Adams, Koji, and Mike Gonzalez not included

yeah that looks kinda the same but that sight counts the options...ians 10 mil is an option in 2013

But it tells you when people are arbitration eligible which helps determine salaries

I didn't see anything about arb, it just said 1 year contract, the other site says what year in arb they are

 

[bone3421]
