I'm not smart enough to figure out the increase there. :) Hanson and, I believe, Prado will still make the minimum. McCann and Chipper both get $2MM raises, McLouth makes $2.5MM more, Omar gets $375k more and Ross gets $200k more. (Chipper's vesting option for 2009 was between $8-11MM, and I think it's the high number.) So that's a $7.075MM increase total for those 5 guys.

For that we need championship caliber individuals with talent, you know, like Chipper for all these years. Country boy, yes, but he raises his level and will give up for the team. Now let's talk seriously about good talent able to perform at a high level with 100% enthusiasm. Lets start with manager candidates. Bobby's act is old and thin.
