10-team NL-only 5x5 using AVG. The usual long-term contract rules.
I can keep 12 of the following:
Definite:
Schwarber $13/yr1
Goldschmidt $20/2017
LeMahieu $2/option year (extend to $7 or $12? thinking $7)
Pederson $5/yr2
DPeralta $8/yr2
Arrieta $10/option (extend to $15, right?)
TRoss $6/2016
Rondon $10/option (not extending)
Possible:
Owings $5/option
Paulsen $6/yr2
Colon $1/yr2
Hammel $8/yr2
Jansen $26/yr2
Niese $4/option
Roark $2/yr2
JRoss $10/yr2
Vizcaino $10/yr2
The only closers likely to be in the auction are Grilli, McGee, Rodney, and whoever ends up in Philly - I wouldn't be surprised if pretty much everyone else is kept, many of them at $10 or less.
Of the possibles I'm leaning toward Paulsen, Hammel, and two others.
I also have an offer of Mesoraco $17/yr2, Ozuna $5/option, and Peraza (free minor leaguer) for Schwarber. I don't think that's worth doing, is it? What if I could get him to swap in Harvey $15/expiring for Mesoraco?
