If you're willing, get all the player salary data as of opening day in your league. That is, the salary being paid to each player who is on the active roster or disabled list as of the opening day of your season. From that list an analysis can be done on the distribution of salaries.
I have such analysis of real-life MLB opening day player salary data. For example, the average salary of the top 1% of players on opening day 2012 was $23.8 million; the average salary of the top 2%-5% of players was $16.7 million; the average salary of the bottom 20% of players was $481,190. And so on.
Comparing the real-world distribution of salaries by percentile against what happens in OOTP might be useful and interesting.
