2007 Salaries for rookies and minor leaguers

by RandyKutcherHair on Mar 14, 2007 10:37 PM EDT

Does anyone know what the salary for major league rookies is in 2007? Rookies made $327,000 in 2006 and the number has gone up a bit for this year; but I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

Likewise, does anyone know what minor league players make in 2007? I know it was $54,000 in 2006. Like the major league rookies, it goes up every year and I haven't been able to find 2007 numbers anywhere.

MLB Rookies

I am sure that it is somewhere in the $380,000's this year---I know I saw this a little while ago, but I don't remember the exact amount. For some reason, my gut is telling me $382,000.
