Total Current & Projected Player 2009 Salaries - $41.225m (Updated 2/5/09)

Some of those players won't be on the 2009 Roster opening day roster and other minor league signees and major league minimum type of players will be on the 2009 roster.

These Padres Minor League signings are not on that list:
Mark Prior (will make $1.0m if he makes ML roster),
Kevin Correia (will make $0.750m if he makes ML roster)
Chris Burke (will make $0.650m if he makes ML roster)
Chris Britton (will make $0.400 if he makes the ML roster)

If Prior, Correia and Burke make the roster, the 2009 Payroll will be $42.425m (as of 2/5/09)


Others that were on 2008 Roster at some point and their 2008 salary:
Matt Antonelli - $0.390m (2008-not arbitration eligible)
Will Venable - $0.390m (2008-not arbitration eligible)
Drew Macias - $0.390m (2008-not arbitration eligible)

Most salary figures are thanks to Cots Baseball Contracts - the best resource I have found on baseball contracts. http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/
