If Ryno's cap hold is only $12 million a year, then I would have no problem resigning him. I could care less what he's making.


Cap Hold =/= Cap Number like in football. Your Cap Hold is in most cases 150% of your last salary and is basically a place holder assuming you'll be back. Because of the escalation Ryno's cap hold will be way below his projected market value, so he only takes up $12 million in cap space until you sign him. If you give him 4/$80 he'll be eating $20 million of your cap space as soon as you sign him. I don't want him on the books for $20 million in 2017.

Gotcha.
Then no, I don't want anything to do with him at that much.

Where is this $21 million number coming from? Is this keeping guys like Babbitt and Gee, b/c I don't want them on the team next year.
