The San Francisco Giants have updated the 40-man roster. They had to add players to the 40-man roster to protect them from being taken in the Rule 5 Draft. The Giants added six players to the 40-man roster, and also removed two players.
The players removed were outfielder Darren Ford, and pitcher Waldis Joaquin.
The players added were Hector Correa, Dan Otero, Charlie Culberson, Tyler Graham, Roger Kieschnick and Angel Villalona.
2012 Payroll
The Giants currently have seven players under contract for the 2012 season. These guys are listed below with their 2012 salary.
Barry Zito: $19 million
Matt Cain: $15 million
Aubrey Huff: $10 million
Brian Wilson: $8.5 million
Freddy Sanchez: $6 million
Jeremy Affeldt: $5 million
Javier Lopez: $4.25 million
That's half of the Giants 2012 payroll, and we haven't gone through the players that are arbitration eligible. Players will receive raises from their 2011 salary. It's likely that they won't all be offered arbitration by the Giants, but here's the list below.
Arbitration Eligible: 2011 Salary
Tim Lincecum: $14.1 million
Jeff Keppinger: $2.3 million
Andres Torres: $2.2 million
Ramon Ramirez: $1.65 million
Santiago Casilla: $1.3 million
Melky Cabrera: $1.25
Mike Fontenot: $1.05 million
Pablo Sandoval: $500K
Ryan Vogelsong: $500K
Sergio Romo: $450K
Nate Schierholtz: $432K
Eli Whiteside: $425K
Manny Burriss: $425K
Players that are not yet arbitration eligible are in their Club Renewal years. These players are listed below.
Club Renewals
Buster Posey
Madison Bumgarner
Brandon Belt
Dan Runzler
Chris Stewart
Brandon Crawford
Money Off The Books
Carlos Beltran: $19 million (Giants did not pay that full salary as they got him at the trading deadline)
Cody Ross: $6 million
Mark DeRosa: $6 million
Orlando Cabrera: $1.35 million (Giants also got him via trade later in the season)
Pat Burrell: $1 million
Now put on your Giants GM hat, and tell me what you would try to do with a $125 million payroll. You already have the committed players listed. Who would you offer arbitration too, and who would you try to bring in as a free agent? Please list the price you would pay for each player and lets see what your 2012 payroll would end up being! I look forward to reading your answers. =)
