Stats I like so far:

Bradley...25 PAs...5 Ks.
Reyes.....26 PAs...3Ks.


And I dont like:

Zimmer...23 PAs....10 Ks.
D Santana....23 PAs...10 Ks.
I like to live in a world where we just mash the hell out of the ball. Big boys that can crush it.

Does anyone think we can make these two fit in the same lineup this year?

Read this 3 times, not sure if talking about baseball or a double penetration porno.
 
What is our salary situation looking like this season? Spotrac is around $96M, but how much in arbitration do you guys think we will add to the salary?

Arbitration has already occurred this off-season. This is our salary barring trades or other acquisitions.

What is the total salary owed for this season then? Eyeballing the numbers that are entered leads me to believe we will be north of the $86M reported. For example there are a bunch of guys with a dash next to where a salary number should be.

Those dashs are all able to be renewed for the league minimum.
That said, this tweet might help...

The club has agreed to terms on 2020 contracts with all 25 zero-to-3 year, pre-arbitration players (there were zero renewals)

Until we know exactly the cost of the various agreement (we are talking 25 different contracts) the exact payroll will still be undefined.

If Bradley does what Mercado did last year...carry his eye opening ST into the regular season in Columbus...you may get your wish in a few months.

You're asking about Reyes and Bradley?

I think you should just be asking if Bobby Bradley can pan out, because Reyes, barring a disaster, is an everyday player here for a long time.

It also sounds like Reyes is gonna get a shot in the OF this year.

Yeah, Reyes should be penciled in the lineup hopefully for the next five seasons. I'm impressed with what Bradley's done this Spring but there's no spot for him here now. He's young enough to have a monster year in AAA and be up here full time in 2021.

No because I genuinely believe Bobby Bradley is not a regular in the bigs -- or at least, not on a good team.

If he learns to have a little better contact rate and take more walks he could, but he has a lot of work to do to make it in the pros.
