- Teams also need to list protection years and salaries for some players, as well as complete contracts. Don't assume anything.

- To estimate arbitration figures and incorporate them in your salary caps for the time being, use this link: www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/11/projected-arbitration-salaries.html Likewise, if a guy isn't arbitration eligible yet, assume last year's salary or at minimum $400,000 for now.

- Reminder: if a player is released and is under protection (not a contract), the released figure is only applied for the one year and not future protected seasons.

- A lot of teams not listed need to clean up their pages too. Take off free agents from your roster, and extraneous clutter. Now to nit pick - add some color and other features to your clubhouses/roster pages.

I can't even tell. Change the dates at the top of each page to start with 2012 and don't insert the "$" sign, just put numbers in terms of millions (so $400,000 = 0.4).
