Payroll

* - Minimum salary in 2013 is $490K. The players that make the $490K are subject to change based on who makes the roster out of spring training, plus these figures will alter slightly once they sign their 1-year deals this spring and make anywhere between $490-530K based on service time.
* - Super 2 eligibility for 2014 and beyond is projected based on current service time and if they play the entire 2013 season in the big leagues. 

- Most of the players with minimum salaries will earn league minimum wages around $490K (or slightly above) depending on their service time.

- Major League service time is through the 2012 season.  172 days of service time is considered 1 major league season. Service time listing shows the years before the decimal point, and the days after. Ex: 2.134 is 2 years and 134 days of service time.  Though the season is really 180 days or so long, you cannot accrue anymore than 172 days of service time in a season.

- Free agency, Super 2, and arbitration are all projected as if all players played a full season at the big league level from next year going forward.  Obviously, for several players free agency and arbitration will actually be pushed back a year or two as they spend more time in the minors in the coming years.
