2002 average salary
The very unofficial stats that I have show:
+------+---------+---------+-------+
| Team | Total | Players | Avg |
+------+---------+---------+-------+
| OBW | 153,550 | 64 | 2,399 |
| HC | 212,190 | 69 | 3,075 |
| NHF | 208,650 | 66 | 3,161 |
| HT | 226,930 | 69 | 3,289 |
| CLM | 216,875 | 65 | 3,337 |
| YBS | 243,100 | 68 | 3,575 |
| SL | 242,230 | 63 | 3,845 |
| OKB | 270,920 | 68 | 3,984 |
| YS | 265,620 | 65 | 4,086 |
| FDH | 291,250 | 70 | 4,161 |
| CD | 321,630 | 69 | 4,661 |
| YG | 403,372 | 67 | 6,020 |
+------+---------+---------+-------+
All salary figures are in units of man (10,000) yen. This also reflects the state of salaries at the beginning of the season, less a few that were still unknown or being processed.
If this is for a book or anything else official, I'd advise taking Whiting-san's advise and contacting the Commissioner's Office.
Hope this helps.

The other two sets on the JPBPA page are the 1-gun and 2-gun salaries.
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
