How much MLB service time does Crosby have? He may be signed to a 1-year contract, but if he has less than 6 years of service, you control him for longer, and this will be reflected in the salary report.

A rookie will most often appear to have a 1-year deal in his Profile, but a 3-year deal* (at the min salary) in the salary report; this is because his contract will be automatically renewed for 3 years (followed by 3 years where his salary is determined by arbitration). Of course, if you don't want to pay him after the first year, you can always drop him during the offseason.

* you control a rookie for 6 years (3 at min wage, 3 through arbitration), though I think the salary report only shows 3 years into the future.
