Better get Williamson in the lineup ASAP so Byrd’s option doesn’t vest. I like Byrd but I’m not sure 8 million for a 39 y/o outfielder who would probably be splitting time with Aoki is a wise allocation of cash that should go to the rotation.

I’m curious as to what source(s) media members use for salaries? Cot’s, Baseball-Reference, Spotrac, ESPN, USA Today, or other? I consistently see inaccurate salaries reported.
As I understand, Carbonell signed a $1.4M deal. That was a $1M signing bonus and $100K per year for four years, guaranteed. There is a stipulation that his MLB salaries would be: 500K in 2014, 525K in 2015, 550K in 2016, and 600K in 2017.
Anyways, IMO, it was a good risk to take for the Giants. It only cost money. It hasn’t worked out so far. But most prospects simply don’t make it. It’s a tough gauntlet to get through. I might compare Carbonell to the Orioles’ Elier Leyva. And I’m still hoping for the best for young Daniel Carbonell. It might be worth remembering that Daniel had spent a long time without playing pro ball, dropped switch-hitting, and had a lot of cultural/life adjustments to make in a short span.

Will he be able to elect free agency, or will the Giants maintain his rights
