    Half of the Giants went to Timmy.

      Even if you take that away, they’re still in the top third.  I had a feeling this year would be expensive.

        Next off-season likely to be expensive as well, with Bumgarner, Posey, Romo and Nate all hitting FA.  And of course, Cain’s extension.

          You mean arbitration? Nate and Romo already have, but Posey and MadBum are likely super-2’s.

            wow.. sorry. totally meant arb yr. must have been out of it when i replied!

            Nate and Sergio were yr 1 for 2012, but I believe both only signed 1 yr deals, so they get to go again next season (or sign before). Posey and MadBum will also hit arb eligibility next offseason

    I’m surprised the Astros had enough talent to even cost them that much, lol.
