December 21, 200322 yr Differed Payments Mike Hampton: $8,000,000 Ivan Rodriguez: 3,000,000 Catcher Ramon Castro: 400,000 Infielders Hee Seop Choi: 400,000 Luis Castillo: 4,000,000 Alex Gonzalez: 2,800,000 Mike Lowell: 6,500,000 Outfielders Jeff Conine: 3,000,000 Juan Pierre: 2,300,000 Miguel Cabrera: 400,000 Rotation Josh Beckett: 2,300,000 A.J. Burnett: 2,500,000 Brad Penny: 2,750,000 Carl Pavano: 2,400,000 Dontrelle Willis: 400,000 Bullpen Michael Tejera: 400,000 Mike Neu: 400,000 Chad Fox: 1,300,000 Blaine Neal: 375,000 Nate Bump: 400,000 (Lefty Specialist not included) Armando Benitez: 3,500,000 Bench Mike Redmond: 840,000 Mike Mordecai: 500,000 Lenny Harris: 500,000 Brian Banks: 400,000 Abe Nunez: 300,000 Out Tim Spooneybarger: 400,000 TOTAL: $50.465 ------------------------------------- This is basically the team as is. Penny, Pavano, and Beckett's salaries are what they're most likely to recieve through arby, but are not final. I believe that's A-Gon's 2004 salary, but if it's wrong, someone please correct me.
December 21, 200322 yr Author where is spoonybarger, just because he is hurt doesnt mean he doesnt count. I believe his salary is covered by insurance.
December 21, 200322 yr I believe his salary is covered by insurance. oh come on just put it in its better to estimate high then low
December 21, 200322 yr so it seems like even in the worst case, we have at least 5-7 million more to play with next year. not too shabby. that could net us another bat at 3-4 mill and 2 more pitchers at 1 or 2 mill each.
December 21, 200322 yr Author I believe his salary is covered by insurance. oh come on just put it in its better to estimate high then low Added. We're alomst directly on $50 Million. Alomst $10 Million to work with and we don't have $6 Million for a Javy?
December 21, 200322 yr That all looks pretty reasonable. Shows that Beinfest is in a good position to fill a few holes. But it also makes you wonder if the "budget parameters" that he was instructed to make were equal to last year's salary....thus the reason for never letting it out. The $60M figure may have been no more than a "figure of imagination" from the press.

Me too, but from the looks of things it could be the case.
December 21, 200322 yr i am at 53.4 million. adding in salary slots for hte players not on our roster needed to fill out the team....1 million for a fifth starter...1 million for a reliever...500,000 for a bench reserve. although technically you need to include every member on your 40 man roster, since the parent pays that salary.
December 21, 200322 yr Gotta love that we get an entire starting rotation for less salary than Andy Pettitte gets all by himself.
December 22, 200322 yr the marlins don't insure players, spooneybarger or anyone else penny beckett and pavano are woefully underpriced, not even close
December 22, 200322 yr Author penny beckett and pavano are woefully underpriced, not even close What are you talking about? Those are very realistic arbitration numbers. And I'll add Spooneybarger to that total.
December 22, 200322 yr the marlins don't insure players, spooneybarger or anyone else penny beckett and pavano are woefully underpriced, not even close I agree with you on Penny and Pavano, but Beckett's not eligible for arbitration and no way he's going to get more than a 500K raise.
December 22, 200322 yr Forget javy right now we need a solid outfielder because i don't feel comftorable with conine in left,did the jose guillen contract go through?
