Is there any glaring mistakes in my lineup ?
It just means that someone is paid for the time they play, so the amount of the contract doesn't necessarily match their actual pay.An example is the contract Clemens signed this season for $28m. If he made his first start three weeks after signing that contract, he'd only earn about $17.5m since he would have missed such a big chunk of the season.

Instead of being paid for the entire season, they are only paid for the portion they actually work.Alex rodriguez entering prime or lucky streak?
The same thing as it means anywhere else. It refers to a partial term contract, in which the individual is paid for only that partial term. AKA, if Clemens had decided to "grace" the Yankees with his presence for the whole season, he would be paid approx $28,000,000 for this season, but he only deemed it necessary to play part of the season, and he'll be paid only for that partial season.More the fool, Mr Cashman, more the fool.

prorated means they dont get payed the whole years worth of the contract... for example... Roger Clemens signed a 1 year $28 million dollar contract, however he isn't playing a whole year, so he actually only gets $18 million. still way too much for an old guy like him who will likely get lit up in the american league east.What is the best rival in baseball?
