back to the "must have a veteran at every position" type of operation? Even if you are worried about Bird, you have Austin, Lind, Drury as options. And I don't get the service time talk, how about let's not have any prospects so we don't have to worry about arbitration years at all? If prospects are ready, you play them.
Does this mean the 10M we had to play with is now 5M only?
Where are you getting $10MM? Last I read, the Yanks had $22MM under the threshold, so that would be down to $17MM now.
I could definitely be wrong about the room under the threshold, but I've never heard it as low as $10MM for this year.

You are correct - was $22 mill. Supposedly they are saving $10 mill for midseason deals.
Did Moustakas sign for $5 mill one year?

I thought he signed for 6.5 for one year with a mutual option for a second year.

Correct, plus $2.2 mill in incentives....
and we know there is almost no risk that Walker blocks Torres/Andujar/Wade if they really step up. With Moose there was some risk that he might have.
Sorry - incentives that could bring him up to 4.5 (not 5).
