striker Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 1) When calculating a teams payroll, do you use the figure the player makes or the team pays them? For example: Thome. Do you use $16mil or $7.5mil? I've estimated the Sox payroll to be about $87.5mil (based on players salaries), not including arbitration eligible players. But it's only $75mil based on what the Sox pay (subtract $7.5mil year for thome, $2mil a year for Vazquez, $2mil a year for Contreras). So really the Sox are only paying $75mil for their team which is nothing. 2) When a team sends cash with a player in a trade (like the $4 mil we received from Arizona with Vazquez), do they give a lump sum right up front or allocate it over a period of time? My estimated salary figures: Player Position 2006 Salary Sox Pay Tadahito Iguchi 2B $2,400,000.00 $2,400,000.00 Paul Konerko 1B $12,000,000.00 $12,000,000.00 Juan Uribe SS $3,150,000.00 $3,150,000.00 Jermaine Dye RF $5,000,000.00 $5,000,000.00 Scott Posednik LF $1,900,000.00 $1,900,000.00 A.J. Pierzynski C $4,000,000.00 $4,000,000.00 Jim Thome DH $16,000,000.00 $7,500,000.00 Paublo Ozuna S-IF $500,000.00 $500,000.00 Chris Widger S-C $650,000.00 $650,000.00 Brian Anderson CF $500,000.00 $500,000.00 Javier Vazquez P $12,000,000.00 $10,000,000.00 Freddy Garcia P $9,000,000.00 $9,000,000.00 Mark Buehrle P $7,750,000.00 $7,750,000.00 Jose Contreras P $8,000,000.00 $6,000,000.00 Brandon McCarthy $300,000.00 $300,000.00 Cliff Politte P $1,200,000.00 $1,200,000.00 Neal Cotts P $500,000.00 $500,000.00 Dustin Hermanson $3,000,000.00 $3,000,000.00 Total $87,850,000.00 $75,350,000.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I believe we are getting 1mil this year on Vazquez and 3 mil on '07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 striker62704, You are pretty much spot on, but that $75 million is equal to last years payroll and you only list 18 players. You forgot Jenks, and then like you said, you have to add Mackowiak, Crede, and Garland. Then you have to fill out the other 3 roster spots. So it is going to be in the $90 million range once the roster is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 91 million is what I have been hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It's hard to say $91M when we have so many unresolved contracts. We can only speculate as to what the current payroll is until the last of the players get their new contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
