Effective 12/12/11:

A player on a rookie contract(blue highlighted) may have his final year bought out and signed to an extension. The value of the extension will be based on the average of the top 5 paid players at the same position from the previous year.

- Multi-position eligible players will be priced at the position they played the most games.

- Outfielders will be lumped together.

Outfielder price is $46.04

[Cardinals GM(Jared)]

Yanks - would you mind showing the work on this if you have it in a SS somewhere?

[Brewers GM(Mike)]

Get over it and just tell us you're extending Carlos Santana

[New York Yankees GM(Tommy)]

Can't show any work or finish the OF because the numbers were deleted sorry guys --- and if I'm not mistaken these are supposed to be declared before trading began

[Cardinals GM(Jared)]

I thought it was before free agency?

How can you declare if the aren't posted? (For OF)

[Cardinals GM(Jared)]

And I have a copy of last year I copy and pasted. Let me email it tomorrow.

[Cardinals GM(Jared)]

And does this factor contracts to finish the year or top 5 given through the year. Remember I paid gallardo 35 or so and cut him.

[Brewers GM(Mike)]

Its before free agency starts because you are able to trade for a guy an still extend him

[Brewers GM(Mike)]

Outfielders were
Cargo @ $60
Braun @ $41.65
Bautista @ $41
J Upton @ $43.35
Bruce @ $44.2

You can do the math

[New York Yankees GM(Tommy)]

Well if that's correct it's $46.04.

[Cardinals GM(Jared)]

I'm going to ask for clarification on the catcher salary.

Napoli was listed as a Catcher on espn and the SS. He caught 0 games in 2013, does that mean he shouldn't be included in the average salary? By the same token, victor martinez only caught 3 games in 2013 but had C eligibility from 2011 when he had C eligibilty.
"Top 5"
Mike Napoli 2014* ($22.50)- 0 Games as Catcher
Brian McCann 2015* ($24.30)
Matthew Wieters 2017* ($20.30)
Victor Martinez 2015* ($28)- 3 Games as Catcher
Joe Mauer 2013 ($20.00)

AVG 23.02_________________________________

Yadier Molina 2016* ($11.70)
Salvador Perez 2014* ($9.30)
AVG 17.12______________________________(Without Napoli and Martinez)

[Brewers GM(Mike)]

Yeah I think the commish needs to clarify. Personally I don't think Napoli should be used, Vmart was not used to get Yanks figure, Yadi was

[Brewers GM(Mike)]

Furthest I could go back Oct 31. Here's the math I came up with. Not sure who Yanks used but these are who I saw w the top 5 salaries, I could have missed someone

3B
Ryan Zimmerman @ $22.5
David Wright @ $41
Miguel Cabrera @ $48.6
Evan Longoria @ $36.65
Adrian Beltre @ $35
average= $36.75

SS
Tulo @ $35
Jose Reyes @ $25
Hanley @ $31.5
JRoll @ $22
Alexie Ramirez @ $18
average = $26.3

2B
Cano $49.5
Pedroia $25.5
Kinsler $27.2
Phillips $23
edit: Uggla/Utley $22.5
Zobrist $35
= $32.04

1B
Prince $53.75
AGone $44.1
Pujols $52.2
Votto $40.8
Allen Craig $39.5
= $46.07
C
Mauer $20
Yadi $11.7
McCann $24.3
Weiters $20.3
Salvador Perez $9.3
= $17.12

Not sure if this does but just trying to help, didn't have time to look at the pitchers.

[Atlanta Braves GM(T.J.)]

Alright gentlemen here are the final numbers. Players with multi-position eligibility would slot into the position they played the most games:

Indians figures are accurate above.
