I imagine all-in could be in that ballpark even maybe towards the top as long as it is done with 1 year deals or at most 2 years since next year we’ll probably be gaining about $8-10MM in raises and arbitration increases for the 2013 season which would be paid for by Upton’s salary coming off the books.

Since he is below 6 he isn’t eligible for free agency. I believe Torres still has a future as a starting pitcher, but will likely be a piece of the bullpen come playoff time. Freeman will still look for steals he just won’t have to work his ass off to form a whole bullpen. This year he will only have to find a few people to give ST invites and fight with the AAA arms + Matt Bush for 2-3 spots.

Because of using Price in the September of 2008 we had to send him down for about a month in order to get him under 172 days of serve time between 2008 and 2009 to keep him under 1.000 to get the extra year of control (2015). As it sits Price is at 2.164 service time, but because of this they wanted to make sure Jennings would be under the Super 2 cut off which is generally around the 2.130 range. Added to Jennings 0.033 that was used they didn’t want him to get above 0.120 at the end of the season which they succeeded.

Jennings will not reach Super 2 unless the cutoff date is really early but they took that into consideration, so it will be highly unlikely for him to be a Super 2.
