hardw0od Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Okay, so we have some sources saying that the Marlins will slash payroll 25% next season. That would put us at a bit under 50 million for the 2006 season. Here is a breakdown. Please feel free to add to this League Minimum Rookies Josh Johnson Scott Olsen Jason Vargas Jeremy Hermida Robert Andino Josh Wilson Josh Willingham Chris Aguila Bargain Players Under 1 million or a bit above: Miguel Cabrera Dontrelle Willis These 10 players will account for less than 5 million dollars against the 2006 payroll. That leaves the Marlins with 45 Million for 15 players. There is no way that the Marlins will strip the entire team, because the payroll will be much less than 50 million.

MrAndMrsFish Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Cabrera and D-Train will be well over 1 million dollar range after arbitration this year...you can expect D-Train to be in the 4-5 M range and Cabs will be close to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardw0od Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 You are absolutely right. I forgot that this is their arbitration year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more than $2 million a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Then there's the money owed Pudge, Leiter and Valdez. $$$ for another FA starter, probably $8-10 million for relievers...the list goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Hampton's $ is off the books! Are the Muts still paying Mo Vaughn? :whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rferry Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Only Willis is eligible for arbitration this year. Not Cabrera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardw0od Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 rferry is there a cutoff, because both came up the same year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Pudge is off the board as is Hampton. (Pudge...2003, 2004, 2005...was 3 years right?) Leiter is $2 million right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 rferry is there a cutoff, because both came up the same year? Service time is counted in days, not calendar years. Willis came up sooner and earned enough service time over the next 2 1/2 seasons to reach the 17% threshold among players between 2-3 years of service time to become a super-two and recepient of an early extra year of arbitration eligibility.

hardw0od Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 Thank you for clearing that up. I remember that Willis came up in May/ June? and Cabrera came much after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, we're still paying Pudge for one more year. $2,000,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, we're still paying Pudge for one more year. $2,000,000. Still around $2 million a player for another 15 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 But it won't be...averaging never works when there is a significant disparity in the numbers. Player A makes $12 million, Player B makes $300k, their average salary is +$6 million but not relevant. You aren't paying the average player $6 mil. .
