most normal minor leaguers dont make much more than 32k, if that, until they make the majors

actually the min. is 64k according to union,but the point was mlb players not the fake scabs.besides i love the post that manny's contract and tim lincecum were fixed,thx now the other 450 or so mlb players please thanx

I think 2K and ko55 are both wrong

4) What do Minor League players earn?

Minor League Baseball player contracts are handled by the Major League Baseball office. Here are the salary ranges:

First contract season: $1,100/month maximum. After that, open to negotiation

Alien Salary Rates: Different for aliens on visas--mandated by INS (Immigration).

Meal Money: $20 per day at all levels, while on the road

Also, anybody else notice all the salaries are exactly 20% low (Manny was 1 year 20 million... from 25 without the option year, then 2 year 36 from 45 million with the option)? Ron, is that league mandated or something?

[ko55]

a rods isnt 20% lower neither is beltran or others,and your post is about the way the money is paid out and does not include bonus or the fact that there paid when their not playing-so the fact is the contracts are all WRONG anyway we all put it,just look at all the top paid players,ex......2k versions-Beltran-3 yrs-14.2 mil. not 20% less,look at arod.Johan,etc.alllllllll

[defjam]

Beltran is way way overpriced anyways..and on his downhill decline

[2K Admin Ron]

This 20% drop was done because of this rule: http://www.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20061024&content_id=1722380&vkey=pr_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

It will be fixed for the most part in the next update.

[ko55]

thanks and interesting,ron what does this article have to do with the 20% decrease but good read and thanx for response

[BrewCrew19]

I think it just explains the minor league salaries of $65,000 and MLB of $400,000 (minus 20% is $52,000 and $320,000). Maybe the 20% discount was part of the deal and not announced (because, seriously, why would you want to point that out in a press release of that nature?).

In my franchise the Angels just signed FA Joe Biemel to a 1 yr deal worth a little over $500K, his last salary according to the game was over 1mil, why did he take such a low offer? They also signed Alou for 1yr $4+mil which seems pretty normal, maybe a bit too much.

[ko55]

they pointed it out because its BOGUS,that other baseball game(the one we wont name on ps3)DOESN'T HAVE THAT SO I CALL BS
