Good LOOGYs can make a couple million a year, just like extra bench bats sometimes do.  But LOOGYs are dying out without this initiative anyway, and most of them now are in fact league-minimum guys.  When Tony Sipp - who was most definitely a LOOGY last year and did very well at it - gets $1.25 million and borderline utility guys like Daniel Descalso, Chris Owings, and Josh Harrison are getting $2-3 million, I'm not sure that argument holds much water. 

Theses are extra extra bench bats though- my guess is that the ones in the AL will never play (maybe have some punch runners?). These will be guys worse than the last guy currently on benches, and those last guys are usually league minimum
