I could see Braley staying. I still think he would sign but him staying is more likely than McCarty. This was the first time he's pitched regularly in three years. It is certainly possible for him to get some more work in on the mound to improve his stock for next year.

I don't know enough about salary differences between rounds to know what the difference would be between being a third round pick and a sixth round pick, though. Not sure if enough of a difference to chance it.

I think it is pretty clear that McCarty has hit his ceiling under Federico. It makes sense for him to move on.
