Doing What I Do Best

PrintCatfish Stew came up with a great way of mapping out the future of a team, displaying in a neat format how long a team controls each one of it's players. Seeing this, I decided to do what I do best, and steal his idea.
I included anyone in the organization that I felt would stick around long term, and that I could accurately predict when they would start producing for the team. Note that I couldn't find updated services times, so I might be off by a year on players that toed the line in between years of services time. Also, the super two rule of arbitration may mean that I give a player on additional year of arbitration when he isn't actually eligible for it.
You're going to need to click here to view the chart, because the software that powers this site is really terrible.

Chart
Nice chart. I have not had the time to check your times, however, Loaiza is due $375K not $7.5M in 2009. Schmidt is $15.5M in both 2008 & 2009. I do not mean to knitpick.

Arbitration
Re
A: A player with three or more years of service, but less than six years, may file for salary arbitration. In addition, a player can be classified as a "Super Two" and be eligible for arbitration with less than three years of service. A player with at least two but less than three years of Major League service shall be eligible for salary arbitration if he has accumulated at least 86 days of service during the immediately preceding season and he ranks in the top 17 percent in total service in the class of Players who have at least two but less than three years of Major League service, however accumulated, but with at least 86 days of service accumulated during the immediately preceding season.
Since free agency doesn't start until you have six years of service time, no matter what, they get four years of arbitration.
At least that's my understanding of how it works.
