The ledger, season by season

Base salary ÷ expected games that season × games missed that season. "Expected games" is the team's full schedule for position players, or a starting pitcher's typical rotation turns (~team games ÷ 5) — a healthy ace was never going to start 162 games either. Figures are approximate, sourced from public salary and game-log reporting.
