I would hate to have the Royals fall off the front page so soon, so I will post a hypothetical again:
Royals Push Payroll to 155M
Existing payroll is 97M
Deal Dyson/Infante (-8, 89)
Offer Holland a three year deal (4/5.5/10[M.O.]) (+4,93)
Offer Gordon an extension (5/85) (+17,110)
Offer Zobrist an extension (4/52) (+13,123)
Offer Heyward a contract (10/200, Player options starting at year 7)(+20,143)
Offer Latos* a contract (1/10M)(+10, 153M total)
Note: Latos takes a one year deal in a pitchers park with the best defense in baseball behind him. He takes this deal because he needs to rebuild his reputation. The Royals straighten his ass out in the clubhouse and Latos moves on to a huge contract next year. Royals tender a QO and get a pick for their troubles.
C: Perez, Butera
1B: Hosmer, Morales
2B: Zobrist, Colon
SS: Escobar
3B: Moustakas, Cuthbert
OF: Gordon, Cain, Heyward, Orlando, Gore
SP: Ventura, Volquez, Medlen, Duffy, Latos
RP: Davis, Herrera, Hochevar, XXX,XXX,XXX
Then it's just a matter of stocking up the pen again.
