Watching the Payroll

Recommended Posts

I've lost track of were the payroll sits at today. Last I heard the team's stated max was 58 million.

 

Assuming KW has at least $20 million to play with; where should he place his $6,000,000 bets?

 

My feeling is:

Starting pitching

Bullpen

OBP at the top of the lineup

 

Which is why I yawn at any outrage over Robbie, Carl, Daubach, etc.

As of now with estimates for Lee, Schoney, and Wunsch the payroll is about $64 mil or about $6 mil over the $58 mil budget. Any serious trade talk should take into account this overage.

Is that after losing Colon, Alomar, Everette, Flash, etc.?

Tex the breakdown is as such

 

Maggs $14 mil

Kong 8 mil

Koch 6.25 mil

Frank 6 mil

Jose 5 mil

Elo 4 mil

Burly 3.5 mil

Gar 2.3 mil

Sandy .75 mil

 

That's a firm $ 49.8 mil, then there are the 3 arb guys and their estimated salaries.

 

CLee 6.5 mil

Schoney 1.8 mil

Wunsch 1 mil

 

that's about $9.3 mil more for a total of $59.1 mil

 

Then there's your expected roster fill of non arb guys and the minimum they can get.

 

Marte $400k

Uribe 400k

Wright 375k

ARow 375k

Crede 375k

Olivo 330k

Harris 330k

Joe B 325k

Ginter 325k

Sanders 310k

Rauch 310k

Gload 300k

Cotts 300k

 

Obviously(hopefully) some of these names can change but the amounts will only most likely go up so at a minimum you're looking at another $4.7 mil.

 

That's a total of about $63.8 mil to fill out the roster as of right now.
