Contract Status Going Into 2009

How much money are we already on the hook for?  I'm shaky on contract details and am getting most of this from Cot's Baseball Contracts. [Now edited to include the information cwyers noted below from The Cub Reporter's Arizona Phil.]

Depth Chart

C - Geovany Soto - n/a; Henry Blanco 3 M; .3 M buyout

1B - Derrek Lee 13 M

2B - Mark DeRosa 5.5 M; Mike Fontenot - n/a 

SS - Ryan Theriot - Super Two?; Ronny Cedeno - arb eligible

3B - Aramis Ramirez 15.65 M

LF - Alfonso Soriano 16 M

CF - Reed Johnson - arb eligible; Felix Pie - n/a

RF - Kosuke Fukudome 11.5 M

SP1 - Rich Harden 7 M

SP2 - Carlos Zambrano 17.75 M

SP3 - Ted Lilly 12 M

SP4 - Jason Marquis 9.875 M

SP5 - Jeff Samardzija 1.3 M

SP6 - Sean Marshall - Super Two?

RP - Carlos Marmol - Super Two?; Neal Cotts - arb eligible; Michael Wuertz - arb eligible; Chad Gaudin - arb eligible; then of the rest of the potential arms, none are arb eligible.

That gives me 112.575 M already committed without counting the non arb contracts.
