The Detroit Tigers will see an increase in payroll if they keep the same lineup that they had this year, as arbitration-eligible players may account for a $15 million increase in team salary, according to Chris Iott of Mlive.com.
The Tigers have seven players that are eligible for arbitration this season, including center fielder Austin Jackson, catcher Alex Avila and pitchers Phil Coke, Doug Fister, Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer.
Despite the added projected salary, Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski hasn't ruled out the team being active in free agency but he has yet to have that conversation with owner Mike Ilitch.

Alex Avila
2012: $510,000
