2007 Rangers Salary Status

I decided to take a look at what is going on with the 40 man roster and comittments to 2007. I’ve seen bits and pieces here and there, but not a complete list. After asking Jamey Newberg a couple of questions about minutae regarding arb eligible players, I think I’m correct in this list.
2007 Committed Money:

• Hank Blalock – $4.75 Million
• Kevin Millwood – $7.5 Million
• Mark Teixeira – $9 Million
• Michael Young – $3.5 Million
• Ron Mahay – $1.2 Million team option
• Total: $25.95 (assuming Mahay’s option is picked up)

2007 Dead Money:

• Alex Rodriguez – $7 Million
• Phil Nevin – $2 Million (signing bonus due Jan 15, 2007 – not sure if we pay or not, could be Twins)
• Buck Showalter – $2 Million
