One of the strongest memories I have of any film from when I was 9-10 was Logan's Run, and the underlying conceit that people were only allowed to live until 30. This nicely dovetails with Cashman's multi-year plan of culling his thirty-somethings to as few as possible, so I thought it might be entertaining to have an ongoing thread where we track how many guys on the 40 man are over 30 and still allowed to roam Pinstripe Island.
So right now it is at 8:
Holliday (37)
CC (36)
Headley (33)
Gardner (33)
Turncoat Suckboat (33)
Robertson (32)
Little League (31)
Garcia (30)
Four of those eight have deals that expire this year and very likely won't be coming back (possibly CC), three more expire after 2018 and may stick around next season (Gardner, Robertson, even Headley as a backup 1B/3B possibly), and Ellsbury who I think will be gone by spring training.
