1Morales: $350,000 if on Major League roster in 2006.
2Christiansen: $1.6m club option, $0.05-0.15 buyout. Can also demand trade.
Numbers:
  • Ten players under contract for $68,750,000.
  • Seven free agents made $25,410,000 in 2005.
  • Eight arbitration cases in 2006. One (Josh Paul) in 2005.
UPDATE: The Angels actually released Bret Prinz a couple weeks ago. I guess it doesn't change his status, but I noted it anyway.

Comments:


If this is the case then Christiansen, Merloni, Pride, and Prinz are gone and the other free agents are brought back only for the right price/# of years.
