Not all players make the same amount of money in the majors or minors.

I know that when the Cubs sent Shawon Dunston to the minors in June that
his salary was cut severly.  Apparently his contract has different pay
scales for the minors and the majors.  Speaking of Shawon, the Cubs finally
did what should have been done a while ago - axe Larry Bowa.  Maybe they
should have tried to trade him back to Philly and picked up another Sandberg
(ala the Dejesus for Bowa and Sandberg deal).  Another interesting not is
that the Cubs AA shortstop Mike Brumley is tearing up the league.  That
puts a little more pressure on Dunston.
