No * means the player has a contract, and that's the right $ figure
1* means Player goes to arbitration, and I pulled the salary estimates from the Arb thread in the mains.
2** means Last year's #'s. I'm not sure how much of a salary increase players like Cozart will get from their ~$500K salary. It won't be that much though.
FWIW. The Reds opening day payroll in 2013 was $107mm. In 2012 it was $88mm.
In 2013, the Reds had 2.5mm fans, in 2012, the Reds drew 2.35mm fans, so 150,000 more fans in 2013.
Currently the Reds payroll for next year is estimated to be @ $105mm. (If there are errors with the #'s, point them out and I will recalculate. Or point out if I'm missing someone. Thanks.)
What's the Reds payroll estimate for 2014 in your opinion? $110mm, $115m? More/Less?
