I'm not exactly sure where to put this, but figured it might be good to have a thread for misc. baseball related questions.
With that said, I have a couple of questions on my mind. With MiLB base salaries generally being at or lower than 30,000 a year and MLB minimal salaries sitting at 480,000 I know that when a kid gets called up, he gets a pro-rated amount equivalent to his time spent in the majors. If Barnes played on the Red Sox for a week, he would get a week's worth of $480,000 a year. Now, let's say Cecchini is called up to Boston and on his first day crashes into Adrian Beltre's head and is placed on the 15-day DL before getting shifted to the 60-day DL. Does Cecchini continue making the prorated value of $480,000 while he's on the DL or does he go back to making his MiLB base salary?
My second question is, how exactly are players paid for playing October baseball? I get the idea of revenue sharing, but then team officials vote on how much each players share is worth? What about a guy who might get added on late like Thorton or JBJ?
