Luke99’s 2023 Payroll Blueprint

[Luke99]

I am of the opinion it's time for re-tool, have a chance next year and then be in great shape going forward

1) Sign Woodruff to the Luis Castillo deal (plus expected arb award) - 6 years 118 million (total comp from next season forward).  

• C: Victor Caratini ($2.80M)
• 1B: Rowdy Tellez ($5.30M)
• 2B: Kolten Wong ($8.00M)
• 3B: Luis Urias ($4.30M)
• SS: Willy Adames ($9.20M)
• LF: Christian Yelich ($26.00M)
• CF: Tyrone Taylor ($0.70M)
• RF: Hunter Renfroe ($11.20M)
• DH: Keston Hiura ($2.00M)
• SP1: brandon woodruff ($19.66M)

No disrespect but I just can't get on board with any lineup that doesn't include at least one of the rookie outfielders.  Heck, I'd consider starting both Mitchell and Frelick in the outfield and moving Yelich to a mostly DH role.  In any event, it's time to see what our high draft picks can do.

I'm assuming one of the Brandon Woodruff starting at #1 and #2 is supposed to be Burnes?

You literally just plugged the 2022 roster into the 2023 roster.  No changes, no additions.

That isn't re-tooling, that is a re-run.

[Luke99]

yeah I accidently hit enter when I had just started...I was like 1% done and accidently published it...

[Robocaller]

So they clone Woodruff and overpay both of them?
