1972 Off Season

Richie Hebner gets $140K in arbitration.

I break down and give McCarver $176K for 4 years. I just don't want to break this team up.

Yaz, Javier, Blair & Nyman are all in the last year of their contracts. Blair & Nyman don't want a ton, but they want more than I think they're worth.

We ink Javier to a 4 year deal worth $295K per year, just barely above what he's making now. Just gotta hope he's still producing 4 years from now.

We sign Richie Hebner to a 7 year deal at $95K per season. He's producing, albeit from the 8 spot, he's young and he's improving. If he stays the course this is a real good deal.

Yaz is another story, I'm going to have to break the bank to keep him, to the tune of close to $500K a season. Oy. I've got Gary Matthews and Greg Luzinski coming up, and if not this year, they'll both be ready by next year. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and let Yaz play out his contract this year and then let him walk.

We sell Jerry Nyman to the Expos for $19K. He's pitched well for us, but we have a young lefty named Mike Pazik ready to go as our specialist, he's the only new addition to our pitching staff.

We have some really good arms at every level as we've been able to restock our system nicely, so if we run into financial trouble we have the assets to get some cash, hopefully we wont need to do that though.

As far as our lineup goes, McCovey is clearly entering the twilight of his career. He's 45 homers shy of 500 and I'd really like to get him there so I'm keeping him in the cleanup spot for now. Al Bumbry will play everyday, I think he's both earned it and can do it. This lineup is pretty deadly, so even if someone struggles, it shouldn't affect us too much.

We have a plethora of prospects at AAA that are real close to being ready. Outfielders Gary Matthews & Greg Luzinski and 1B Joe Staton could all probably play well in the majors this year but should all be bonafide by the time next season rolls around. I'm thinking McCoveys time at 1st may be coming to an end sooner than I'd hoped.
