Not when it comes to the budget we aren't.
San Fran doesn't have a true budget. They have a great park and an awesome fan base and good tourist setup.
They don't have Bonds' contract, now Durham's.
Outside of Zito, Winn and Rowand (as well as Roberts, Molina, Vizquel), there's not much of a huge consequence salary-wise left on that team.
They have maybe $60 mil in salaries and could easily take on $30 or $40 mil more if they wanted.
