This pie chart shows the proportion of Reds payroll that will be going to the 10 guys who already have contracts for 2012 (assuming a total payroll of $85M on opening day).
That’s 4 guys taking 52% of the money. Judging by 2011, the Reds were half right in that regard… Phillips/Votto accounted for roughly 13 WAR while Bronson Arroyo actually cancelled out Scott Rolen’s 1.3 wins above replacement, resulting in a net of zero for the pair. Ouch.
