Is this about right?

A good deal? Too much?

Projected at 7.6

So it was expected. Still loving that Price deal.

Matt Moore. That is all.

7 mil is right on.....Lets hope the Matt Kemp slash '08 Upton comes to play this year....

Hoping for a .275/25/90 year with 30 SB’s……wishful thinking.

Upton needs to pull an Adrian Beltre

Remember his insane season the first time he was a FA with the Dodgers?

Matt Moore. That is all.
