Do you know what our cap space is looking like right now? Im thinking its around 28 mill?
Since the cap deals with the top 51 contracts, our top 51 is accounting for $97,615,031. So technically we have roughly $24,694,101.
Couple things to keep in mind
1. When we sign new guys they knock off the lowest guy on the top 51, so a new guy will likely have a cap hit of what they sign minus our lowest guy (likely 480,000). So we have more space than it appears.
2. Rumors are Hartline's cap hit this year is between 3 and 4 mil this year, so I'm assuming it's 4 in those #s.
3. I've included the projected rookie contracts (so they're estimates) and the projection that we have a comp pick in the 4th. These are minor factors anyway.
4. There's no way we keep Patterson at his present cap hit. There's also a very real chance that Marshall and Carpenter will need to restructure to stick with the team.
