OK, team. This is just for fun and is not at all close to what I think the Giants roster will look like on Opening Day 2020. It's just one of many possibilities the Giants could do and can afford to do given their current roster and financial flexibility. Our target is to build a competitive roster and keep the payroll under the CBT threshold of $208 M(first we have to subtract the estimated $17.5 M for the minor league portion of the 40 man roster and Benefits package which puts us at $191.5 M. Salaries will be in AAV for the CBT calculation(rounded to the closest 0.5 M). So, here it is, my Big Dollar Energy Rosterbation roster for 2020:
Lineup:
C Buster Posey- $18.5 M
1B Brandon Belt- $14.5 M(let's see what he can do with Triples Alley moved in).
2B Mauricio Dubon- $0.6 M
3B Evan Longoria- $11 M
SS Brandon Crawford- $12.5 M(Full no-trade clause, not that expensive in AAV, short leash).
LF Alex Dickerson- $1 M(agrees to contract before arbitration deadline).
CF Mike Yastrzemski- $0.6 M
RF Marcel Ozuna- $20 M(5 year FA contract. Can play RF if Triples Alley moved in enough).
Bench:
Steven Vogt- $3 M.
Donovan Solano- $1 M
Drew Robinson- $0.6 M
Joey Rickard- $1 M
Austin Slater- $0.6 M.
Rotation:
Madison Bumgarner- $20 M(4 yr FA contract).
Jeff Samardzjia- $18 M
Johnny Cueto- $21.5 M
Jake Odorizzi- $20 M(4 yr FA contract).
Logan Webb- $0.6 M
Bullpen:
Tony Watson- $3 M(Exercises Player Option).
Drew Pomeranz- $1.5 M(1 year FA)
Tyler Rogers- $0.6 M.
Enderson Franco- $0.6 M
Jandel Gustave- $0.6 M
Shaun Anderson- $0.6 M
Tyler Beede- $0.6 M
Melvin Adon- $0.6 M
Total Payroll in AAV: $173 M.
Left to spend midseason: $18.5 M.
Note: Rosters expand to 26 with at least 13 position players for 2020.

I would rather spend the 60 million or so on Rendon and Cole. Why mess around with Ozuna and his hot and cold streaks plus injuries? Odorizzi is going to be paid more than he is worth so pass on him. MadBum would be great to have back but between him and Cole I would rather have Cole.
ReplyDeleteRendon would be cool with being the starting 2B if needed in year one until Belt likely is traded pushing Longo to 1B and Rendon to 3rd with Dubon becoming the starter at 2B. Cole becomes our Ace with Cueto, Shark, T. Anderson, and Webb as the projected rotation. Bullpen could be interesting if Beede ends up being a closer candidate. Any other SP’s signed become rotation possibilities just like Pomeranz this year.
As you mentioned there would still be money mid season for a trade or to add another significant piece next offseason (Mookie Betts, George Springer?). Its time to spend some money Farhan!
