I was thinking about the rebuild, so I decided to look up salaries for 2013, and came back here to report my findings. Since some fascist motherfucker mod closed my
thread.
2013 Roster Under Contract
Jesse Crain (4.50)
Adam Dunn (15)
Paul Konerko (6.50)
Alexei Ramirez (7.0)
Alex Rios (12.50)
Matt Thornton (5.50)
53.75MM
ARB/OPTIONS: Years Through
Dayan Viciedo (2017)
Dylan Axelrod (2017)
Alejandro De Aza (2015)
Eduardo Escobar (2017)
Tyler Flowers (2017)
Phillip Humber (2015)
Brent Lillibridge (2015)
Brent Morel (2016)
Addison Reed (2017)
Chris Sale (2016)
Hector Santiago (2016)
Zach Stewart (2017)
Nestor Molina (???)
Assuming, they don't trade away anyone.
Rotation: Floyd, Humber, Stewart, Sale, Molina (no particular order)
Bullpen: Crain, Thornton, Axelrod, Reed, Santiago, x, x.
C: Flowers
IF: Konerko, Beckham, Ramirez, Morel
OF: Rios, Viciedo, De Aza
B: Escobar, Lillibridge, x, x.
DH: Dunn
So, they'll only need 2 bench players (one being a catcher) and two relief pitchers.
