Although it's been reported that payroll will be down I'm not convinced that will prevent them from bringing back Gray.

Dumb me hit enter but this is what I would go with. Bring back Gray, Maeda, and Taylor and run it back with mostly the same team. I think they can get Maeda for less but just entered what was listed for him, and possibly the same with Taylor. 

I know this is pretty blah but if the injured players are healthy this is reasonable.
