the lack of pre-arbitration players projected to make the opening day roster (2, tied for last) probably means the payroll is going to continue to rise

the second table was pretty interesting

Mauer and Cano are each taking up 27% of their teams' salary isn't the point to build around your best players not to sign them for huge deals then hope the rest somehow falls into place?

The Astros one makes me laugh. Mauer...Cano...Scott Feldman.

The Sawks are a veritable kibbutz in comparison (Napoli @~10%)

I also noted that there's a sizable drop from the 10th spot to the 11th, more than $20MM.

As long as they don't have to share underwear out  of the communal laundry and turn their babies over to the collective nursery.
