Here's a quick glance at the Twins upcoming payroll allocations,
2010
Will need to find a SS, 3B, SP(replace Pavano),
Arbitration for Young, Liriano, Span, Gomez, Slowey(maybe more not sure)
2011(notable players on the books already)
Morneau 14M
Nathan 11.25M
Mauer 15M?(if they keep him)
Cuddyer 10.5M(option)
Punto 5M(option)
Kubbel 5.25M(option)
Baker 5M
Thats 65M(current payroll) right there for 2011 and 7/25 of the players on the roster. If they plan on keeping everyone and staying in contention there are really going to have yo up the payroll to like 90M+ IMO. Unless they really bring up a lot of young talent to fill in the rosters spots. And who knows how that will turn out:dunno:
