Hot Payroll Numbers
Actual Contracts Versus SPRO Projections
So how do the actual contracts given out to players this off
season compare to our SPRO Salary Projections, both on the average and
by maximum players per position. Overall, the average salary of
players on the rosters listed, 752 players overall, in the USA Today
Salary Database on April 8, 2013 was $3,980,093. SPRO projections
were $3,968,545. That's a deviation of only 3 tenth of one percent.
And how does it compare to the highest players paid per position.
High Salary
Actual | Who | Position | High Salary
SPRO | Who | | $23,000,000 | Joe Mauer | C | $18,524,000 | Joe Mauer | | $23,125,000 | Mark Teixeira | 1B | $22,000,000 | Prince Fielder | | $15,285,714 | Chase Utley | 2B | $21,982,000 | Robinson Cano | | $29,000,000 | Alex Rodriguez | 3B | $22,000,000 | Miguel Cabrera | | $16,729,000 | Derek Jeter | SS | $14,019,000 | Derek Jeter | | $21,000,000 | Vernon Wells | OF | $20,670,000 | Matt Holliday | | $25,000,000 | Cliff Lee | P | $22,000,000 | Matt Cain

Week of May 10,
2013
Players Re-Sign with Club
Anthony Rizzo signs
7 year $41m contract, with $3m incentives, 2 club option years in addition at $14.5m each with $2m buyouts with Cubs.
SPRO Analysis - Chicago
overpays for Rizzo. It's just too early in the game to do this.
I know it's a calculated gamble that the player, who in his first
couple seasons, looks like a stellar cornerstone for the franchise and
you've locked him up for nine years. But, there's too many
instances of players who don't progress in this game. Should have
waited at least one more season. SPRO can't get past letting him
play out this season at $524,000 and going from there.
Week of April 22,
2013
Players Re-Sign with Club
Jose Valverde signs
1 year $2m contract, with $3m incentives with Tigers.
SPRO Analysis - Detroit
gets bargain in Valverde. The last free agent to sign and he's
back with the Tigers. Yes, last year didn't end well for
Valverde, being replaced in the playoffs as closer, but Jose has had a
good run in Detroit. This incentive laden deal is good for the
club. SPRO, prorated for the five months left in the season, is
$6,185,000.

of
the least hitter friendly parks in baseball, will move down to an
average 8' (some parts were 16') and the left to center field
fence moved in 4' to 17' at various points.
Rule 5 Draft Held Dec. 6
Eligible minor league players who were required to be on the 40
man roster this year, but were not placed on it, are eligible to be
drafted by other teams, as long as that team keeps them on the Major

Victorino, George Bell, and others have been selected in this draft and
become solid major league players.
