Next year's numbers look high but they will be lowered when we convert his second roster bonus into a signing bonus stretched out over the final 5 years. That will save $10m of the $12.5m.

This is the same thing the will do with Byrd and may do with a few other guys(Lofton, Graham, and less likely Hawthorne).
