Estimated Opening Day Salaries

[HaloFan85]

You think Williams makes the roster? 

Again, I'm just going by the current roster for calculation purposes.  I fully expect to be several non tenders, but rather than anticipating (who knows with this org), we'll have to wait and go from there.

[gotbeer]

Updated salaries with Smith.  May need to adjust later.

 

Estimated opening day is at $156.175

Estimated Competitive Balance Tax is at $176.21

[Stradling]

So are you saying we have another $20 million to spend this offseason?

[gotbeer]

Dropped Gutierrez.  Opening day now at $155 million and CBT at $175 million.

[YouthofToday]

Arbitration expectations for Trout and others is incredibly low.

Trouts not in arbitration.

I know. You project out 2015-2017 though. All good. I liked the piece.

[gotbeer]

Updated after todays non tenders.  Opening Day Salary at $146 million, CBT at $168 million.  

[gotbeer]

Updated the Trumbo Trade.

 

Opening Day Salary estimated at $143.5 million

CBT estimated at $164.1 million.  a bit under $25 million to cap.

[gotbeer]

Updated Ibanez.

 

Estimated

$145 million opening day

$166 million CBT

[Jeff Fletcher]

They're actually about $15M under the CBT without including any performance bonuses, and they're certainly hoping some guys earn those.

Not sure where your math is off but benefits count for about $10M.

[gotbeer]

Updated the spreadsheet with Freese' $5.05 million deal.  

 

Also updated Jepsens deal.  

 

That puts everyone under contract for 2014.

Do we know what (if any) pay raise Trout received?

Haven't read anything yet.  But it'll probably be minimal.  

[Jeff Fletcher]

Trout has not agreed to a deal yet. The players with less than 3 years service time will get their deals in February.

I'm guessing it'll be around $600k

[Blarg]

His agent will be so pleased.

So according to this, the Angels only have 15 million coming off the board from 2014 to 2016? That is just awful. Especially if the angels refuse to go over the luxury.

 

With the terrible farm system and raises to Pujols, Hamilton, Weaver and wilson, the only way the angels will be able to compete is by upping the payroll into the 160-180 range.

 

The angels will have 95 million dollars committed to 4 very old players in 2016.

 

 

yikes.

 

Their window to win is pretty much this year and next year, then it's rebuild time.

For CBT purposes there is no such thing as a raise for a player if he signed a multi year deal.

by 2015/16, the payroll number starts to come a lot closer to the CBT number so they will have some flex relative to that. 

 

Realistically, 2014/15 is the window.  If guys like Richards, Skaggs, Santiago, Conger, Calhoun, Green, Lindsey pan out and a bunch of the farm guys restock the pen then you have a nice core to think about extending the window a bit.  Maybe guys like Cron, Cowart and a few others will be ready to contribute  Of course, not all of them need to be All-stars, but most need to be solid major leaguers. 

 

I feel like by 2016, Albert will be a full time DH and Hamilton will either be fine or a total waste.  Weaver and Wilson will be 4/5 types.  It could be a mini rebuild year where you move CJ, Jered, Aybar, and maybe even Hamilton (wishful) for a mild reload. 

 

Point is, the team will either need one or two key free agents or they will be in full rebuild.  A couple of add won't be out of the realm of possibility if the following year (2017), a bunch of guys come off.  They also don't have to keep everyone along the way. 

[gotbeer]

Updated the numbers with Trouts salary.  

[gotbeer]

Updated the Conger and Ramos moves.

[moccasin]

Are the competitive balance tax salary totals right?

It seems like Hamilton and Trout $ aren't included.

 

BTW, great stuff.

Updated with the Kendrick Trade.  And took a look at the CBT, and it was off.  For some reason the chart got adjusted and didn't include the first two rows.

[gotbeer]

Updated salaries based on MLBTradeRumors estimation of Arb.  

 

I think I got everyone.  But there are 29 people listed, so it'll be trimmed down eventually.

I looked at 3 times and still can't find Calhoun, Morin and Shoemaker.
