Re: 2012 Payroll: $76.2M - My Best Estimate

Alright, I've updated the spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah8KBga3QqVzdEhYUXZtWDJQdjJxZVozNlJIVXJ1c1E

My current guesstimate is: $83,870,000

I added Jackson at $9,000,000 and gave him Ryan Perry's roster spot; Jackson has $2M deferred. As the roster looks now, I have to carry Jackson, Lannan and Wang on my 25 man roster. They are all too expensive to be sent to the minors, and will get their MLB contracts if they get sent down anyways.

I added in Rick Ankiel at $1.25M, a $500K salary for Andres Blanco, and then saved some money on the Morse extension. In his 2 year  extension, Morse gets paid less in 2012 ($3.25M) than the amount he filed for in arbitration ($3.5M).

I'm pretty sure that the numbers at BP are just the salaries and do not include admin costs or insurance.

One more note, if I make this an Average Annual Contract number, the payroll number jumps to: $93,262,500.
