alright so financials range from roughly 14.2 million to 29.4 million in the league.
St. Louis is sitting at 17.4 mill for their total budget and has salary obligations at or around 9. million. leaving us with about 3 million to spend after the draft and player development is budgeted for.

Big names and proven players on the team

Sp: Felix Hernandez is our ace and although his era wasn't that great last year he is well worth the 2.2 million I am paying him this year. In his 4 years in the UsoB he has never thrown less than 200 innings and posted a record of 44-43 with a career era of 3.85. He will most likely be 0ur opening starter once again

Sp: Pablo Cubi is another guy i am really high on and expect big things from this year. He has been poorly handled in Edmonton over the last few years but he has the skill set to be a 12-15 game winner and I go in to the next year with expectations of getting at least that out of him

SP: Eric "Real Deal" Braun The 22 year old righty lived up to his nickname last year as he pitched us into the playoff hunt many times. Going 14-7 in your first full year in the rotation will get you noticed, doing it with a 2.79 era on a mediocre team will make you famous. He will be our number 2-3 but we expect better than that in his production.

Sp: Ralpheal Bridges: The 26 year old bridges came over in the trade with Scottsdale last year and got better as the year went on I think we will see a breakout performance from the youngster this year in fact i am betting on it.

CF: Ernie Berry - He was our best bat last year and led the team in RBI's, SB's, while finishing second in HR's too Pete White. He still strikes out a lot but Berry is the real thing and will anchor CF for the forseeable future.

3B: Carlos Revelez: he had a breakout year in 17 and we are hoping that he will continue to play at that level. If he does he will be one of the first bats we look to sign up long term as third is a weak position in our farm system.

2B: John Brewer: This guy was my first ever draft pick and he has the stats to dominate this league for the next 10 years. The only thing now is for him to prove it.

minor leaguers who will get a shot this spring.

Kelly Hunter: At only 19 we expect big things from Hunter and we base that on his half season in AAA last year where he just tore up the league. 252 AB's produced a .325 Avg with 13 HR's and 53 RBi's. I really want him to be able to take over RF this year but only time will tell if he is ready for that.

Dave Mullholland Sp: This guy is a young lefty and will hopefully push Acuna for the fifth spot in the rotation. He went 9-3 at AAA last with a 3.94 era but he pitched better down the stretch and overall looks ready for the jump.
