I don't think you did. If you place an expensive player in the minors, you only save $1.075M from his cap hit. So, the savings would be $1.075M minus the cost of his replacement.
Your mistake was in saying that Gagner has to count $1.075 in cap hit. In fact, that's the maximum amount you save by burying him.
Otherwise tons of highly paid guys would be buried.
