November 30, 200520 yr Here's what I have for the Sox with their current payroll: # player 2006 1 Konerko $12.00 2 Buehrle $7.65 3 Garcia $9.00 4 Contreras $7.00 5 Dye $5.00 6 Hernandez $4.50 7 Thome $8.00 8 Hermie $3.00 9 Marte $2.50 10 Iguchi $2.40 11 Podsednik $1.90 12 Politte $1.20 13 Uribe $3.15 14 Widger $0.65 15 Anderson $0.35 (club control) 16 McCarthy $0.35 (club control) 17 Ozuna $0.50 18 Jenks $0.35 (club control) 19 Cotts $0.35 (club control) To be determined 20 Crede $2.00 * estimate - arbitration 21 Vizcaino $1.50 * estimate (arbitration) 22 Pierzynski $4.50 * estimate - arbitration 23 Garland $6.00 * estimate - arbitration 24 Harris $0.60 * estimate - arbitration 25 OF $1.00 * estimate (Timo 2005 salary) Total $85.45 [note - edited to include Vizcaino. Final roster has 12 pitchers. The Sox carried 11 to start 2005] If the Sox move El Duque or Marte, that obviously clears up some additional salary. Moving El Duque or Marte would get the Sox an additional $7 million in payroll flexibility. Edited December 1, 200520 yr by BlackBetsy
November 30, 200520 yr If they aren't at exactly the $85M mark, they're awfully close. Just looking at Thome's figure and some of the others, I don't know if $85M is a certainty. Either way, I'm in stunned disbelief. I never thought I'd see the payroll after winning the World Series rise to $85M. The thought of being considered amongst the elite clubs in the league makes me giddy. They still have a lot to prove, but, if the Sox were to have another storied season, we'd be right up there with those East-coasters. Edited November 30, 200520 yr by AddisonStSox

November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) It's going to be higher.. Mainly because it's already pushing $89M when you include buyouts.
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) Plus I think the Sox will resign AJP and Garland to extensions. that goes without saying. those two will be back for 3 years apiece
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) Plus I think the Sox will resign AJP and Garland to extensions. I know both are important but I really hope they get Garlands done as the priority of the two.

You should have just listened to me the first time I posted it, and explained the history of exactly why it would happen

November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(striker62704 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) I doubt Crede or AJ get that big of raises. Crede - $2 million AJ - $3.5 million
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) SJ - $3.5 million Who the f*** is that? Edited November 30, 200520 yr by Rowand44

November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) I know both are important but I really hope they get Garlands done as the priority of the two. I read someplace a week or so ago that it's been about 10 years since the White Sox have gone to arbitration with anyone.
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) I agree... I think we're closer to 90.5 - 92 when all is said and done. All these luxury seats we're selling out certainly doesn't hurt our chances of getting there iether.
November 30, 200520 yr when you think about it. our payroll has risen by at least $20 million over the past two seasons. 2003 was around $65. now its close to $90. that has to be one of the biggest increases in baseball over the past two seasons. Edited November 30, 200520 yr by bumptious96

November 30, 200520 yr I think your are missing Viscaino on there, remember there is not enough room for Marte, Viscaino, and McCarthy in the pen. THat is unless we decide to have 7 releivers which is not normal. Thome is to make 12.5 mil this year and the sox got 22 mil to pay for his 3 years of service. So thats 7.33 mil per year to pay his contract so for 2006 we pay 12.5-7.33 = 5.17 for Thome, in 07 and 08 we pay 6.67 mil per year for him.

In 2003 i think we started at $58 mil then added due to the everett and alomar trades.
