Scott Downs ($5M in '13)

Full Contract Spreadsheet

2B: Dan Uggla ($13.2M) or Tommy La Stella (Not on 40 Man)

Starting Rotation
Mike Minor (Arb 1)
Kris Medlen (Arb 2)
Julio Teheran (Team Control)
Brandon Beachy (Arb 1)
Alex Wood (Team Control)

Bullpen Returnees
Craig Kimbrel (Arb 1)
Jonny Venters (Tommy John Surgery; Will Return mid-season; Arb 2)
David Carpenter (Team Control)
Luis Avilan (Team Control)
Jordan Walden (Arb 1)
Anthony Varvaro (Arb)
Cristhian Martinez (Arb 2)
Cory Gearrin (Team Control)

Bench Players Guaranteed Contracts
Gerald Laird ($1.5M)
Reed Johnson (Team Option)

Other Bench Options
Ramiro Pena (Arb 2)
Paul Janish (Arb 3)
Elliot Johnson (Arb 1)
Tyler Pastornicky (Team Control)
Christian Bethancourt (Team Control)
Jordan Schafer (Arb 1)
Jose Constanza (Team Control)

I would look for us to sign a veteran starter and a couple arms for the pen.

Most interesting part of the offseason will be how we handle the catcher situation. I think we roll with Gattis/Laird with Bethancourt in AAA, but you never know.

There's no way we try and bring back Maholm correct? I just don't see the value in him at that price.

Nah, teams will keep throwing money at him, but he is just going to watch it go by, forcing him to take the qualifying offer from us.

Do y'all need a shortstop? We have a postseason wizard we can trade you in kozma, just don't let him anywhere near your baseball team until October
