Let's see what we're working with for 1948.

We had a losing record, so we start by generating our FA/Trade allowances with a number between 0 and 2.

We can roll over one of our trades from last year that we didn't use, so that brings us to 2/2. We made $44M, which bumps us up to 3/3. However, we were narrowly the worst team in the league, which brings us back down to 2/2.

45+ rated FA Allowance: 2
Trade Allowance: 2

We have two options to decide on, both of which were our free agent adds last year. 1B/3B David Clemons started off terribly, with a 22 wRC+ in the first half. We almost cut him, but his BABIP was super low and I felt like he had to at least get a little better, which he did, finishing the year with a 56 wRC+. Our option is for $3.75M with a $380K buyout. We'll decline the option on him.

On the other hand, OF Juan Montalvo, who has an option for $2.5M, actually played pretty well for us. While an 84 wRC+ isn't good, he was our fourth-best offensive player, with a .249/.295/.371 line and 12 HR. We'll pick up that option.

Touching on some top performers real quick:

SP Joel Berryhill (7-15, 4.80 SIERA, 1.9 WAR)

Berryhill was once again our most productive arm. While he doesn't get a ton of swing and miss, he threw 171 innings.

SP Jose Alcantar (5-12, 4.22 SIERA, 1.5 WAR

Alcantar was a Rule-5 pick before our first season, and he spent the vast majority of 1946 in the bullpen. This year, he made 33 starts, throwing 149.2 innings.

OF Juan Montalvo (.249/.295/.371, 84 wRC+, 1.9 WAR

Already mentioned Montalvo above, so I'll leave it at that.

OF Matt Smith (.299/.331/.427, 110 wRC+, 1.7 WAR

We took Smith in the third round of the expansion draft and he really put things together this year offensively, with little power but just a 12.8% K rate.

43-year-old Glendon Rogets, who we took with our final pick in the expansion draft, is now finally at six years of service time. The journeyman has led the league in appearances in the last two years, contributing 100+ innings each year as a long-man out of the pen. We won't be bringing him back, but it's great to see him still looking to play in 1948.

We non-tender a few uninteresting guys and head into free agency.
