Interesting USA today MLB salary info

[matt75]

Anyone read the USA Today this morning? It had the NL Central preview. Picked the Cards 3rd. It also had a list of payrolls and they had the Cards third there as well with a payroll of $71 mil. Had the Cubs first at about $84 if I recall, Astros 2nd in payroll, I don't recall the amount. This must not include deferred payments. That's 13 mil in deferred money, good lord. I like Walt, but gosh.

Half a BILLION dollars for the Yankees and $307k for the spos. Nothing wrong with this game at all.

havent seen any data yet on the 2004 team by team payrolls, but did find this chart showing how much guaranteed money each team has tied up for the future...

Cards have the third-highest amount of guaranteed money tied up in their players from 2005-2010, behind the Yanks and Phillies, and it doesnt include any deferments...
