I thought Ludwick signed two years for 15 million.

Most of your estimates sound right. I don't know if all the pitchers will make the 25 or Henry Rodriguez.

Ludwick got a $2 million signing bonus and will make $1 million this season. His salary for 2014 is $7.5 million. But he has an mutual option for 2015 at $9 million. The buyout is for $4.5 million, all of which is deferred without interest.

I don't have HROD making the 25 man, I have his minor league salary next to him with a note of what he makes if he's on the 25 man (same with all the other players not slated to make the opening day roster)

If we can afford a $100 million dollar payroll with annual tv revenue set at $16 million, could we possibly see a team that may eventually reach $150 million a season if we signed a $75 million / year tv contract? We need to win consistantly for the next several years leading up to the new contract, but 4 or 5 good years of solid winning and hopfully a WS or two in there could drive the tv ratings even more, which is already really really good for this market, not including maybe a spike in ticket sales or at least prices.

Updated now that all of the arbitration settlements are through.
