Scott Lucas examines the Rangers' 40-man roster heading into the off season. I wish I was a wage slave at $400K/yr.

This winter is not as big a crunch

Next year is the true crunch

As far as the article goes. I don’t see anyway we don’t offer Grilli arbitration. German is the only guy we may not offer. For pre-arb guys the only guys I can truly see being waived are Mendoza, Arias, Richardson, and Golson.

Golson

Unless you really need the spot, might as well give Golson another year in the system.

Absolutely

Of those guys I mentioned he would be the last to get rid of if we had to get rid of someone

I am confused about German's status

He had 4 yrs service time going into last winter. He didn’t earn a year in 09 so he is not at 5yrs service time. Is he arb eligible?
