Since we all think Wade and Drayton are full of shit with their $107m payroll figure, I think someone needs to make an easily accessible page here with all the AStros' salary figures. It should have a column for garuanteed money and colomn for garuanteed plus incentives. And then at the bottom it has the totals - one for each the 25 man roster and 40 man roster. For example (i'm making up the numbers)

Player          Salary   Potential Salary       
Berkman     $15m    $17m
Lee               $18m    $18.5m
Minor 1         $400k   $500k
Minor 2         $400k   $600k
-----------------------------------------------
Total (25)      $33m     $35.5m
Total (40)     $33.8m   $36.6

I would do myself, but I can only make a fanpost and I have no idea how salary works for guys not on the 25 man roster, but are on the 40 man roster.

Then we can see what the real numbers are.
