The Hot Stove League Contracts
Find
out what's going on in contracts, what they've been paid,
what they should have with the Stat Geek Baseball's SPRO Salary
Projection system, and more.
Week of January 26
Free Agents
Casey Janssen
signs 1 year $5,000,000 contract with Nationals.
SPRO Analysis - Washington
gets bargain in Janssen. Yes, change of role might denote the
less money, but he is a closer if needed. SPRO $6,425,000.
Gordon Beckham
signs 1 year $2,000,000 contract with White Sox.
SPRO Analysis - Chicago
White Sox
get bargain in Beckham. Career been sliding, but Beckham still
has value and young enough to recover better seasons. SPRO
$3,396,000.
Re-signed with Club
Devin Mesoraco avoid arbitration and signs 4 year $28,000,000 contract with Reds.
SPRO Analysis - Cincinnati
gets bargain in Mesoraco. We wouldn't have gone for that fourth
year yet, but on a three year basis, it's good. SPRO 3 year
$20,789,000.
Signed Before Arbitration Hearing
Bud Norris, Adam Ottavino, Devin Mesoraco, Jarrod Dyson, Brandon Crawford, Jenrry Mejia, David Freese sign prior to hearing. Check the Arbitration Hearing Checklist for detals.
Week of January 19
Free Agents
Ichiro Suzuki
signs 1 year $2,000,000 contract with Marlins.
SPRO Analysis - Miami
gets bargain in Suzuki. Really not as large as the SPRO number
will suggest. SPRO does not assume role change, thus the
$4,553,000 assumes getting a similar number of at bats as last season,
which he probably won't here.
Johnny Gomes
signs 1 year $4,000,000 contract with Braves, including $3m vesting option for 2016.
SPRO Analysis - Atlanta pays market value for Gomes.
SPRO 1 year $4,113,000.
Colby Rasmus
signs 1 year $8,000,000 contract with Astros.
SPRO Analysis - Houston overpays for Rasmus.
SPRO 1 year $6,940,000.
Max Scherzer
signs 7 year $210,000,000 contract, with Nationals. Contract
stated to include deferred earnings ($15m per year for 14 years),
bringing present day value down to $185 million.
SPRO Analysis - Washington
pays market value for Scherzer. We think it's a tad high, but
maybe that's just us. We're not in favor of these long term
pitcher deals, especially for someone pitching into their late 30's.
SPRO 7 years $176,400,000.
Nori Aoki signs 1 year $4,700,000 contract with Giants, including $1.5m incentives. Contract also includes $5.5m option.
SPRO Analysis - San Francisco gets bargain in Aoki. SPRO $9,012,000, including all incentives.
Re-signed with Club
Ryan Vogelsong signs for 1 year $4,000,000 contract with Giants.
SPRO Analysis - San
Francisco gets bargain in Vogelsong. Sure, he's not the same
pitcher as three years ago, but even if he pitches this year like last
year, it's a bargain. SPRO $7,123,000.
Signed Before Arbitration Hearing
Fernando
Abad, Mitch Moreland, Marwin Gonzalez, Eric Sogard, Ryan Flaherty, and Jordan
Schafer sign prior to hearing. Check the Arbitration Hearing Checklist for details.
Week of January 12
Free Agents
Anthony Swarzak signs 1 year $900,000 contract, plus $350,000 incentives, with Indians.
SPRO Analysis - Cleveland
get bargain in Swarzak. Small one. SPRO $1,364,000, but
they're not on the hook for the incentives if not reached.
Re-signed with Club
Henderson Alvarez signs for 1 year $4,000,000 contract with Marlins, avoiding arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - Miami pays market value for Alvareaz. SPRO $4,212,000.
Ryan Cook signs for 1 year $1,400,000 contract with A's, avoiding arbitration.

one year $2,124,000.

Michael McHenry signs for 1 year $1,0876,000 contract with Rockies, avoiding arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - Colorado
overpays for Heisey. But that number doesn't look right, so it
may be a market value deal. SRPO $1,792,000.
Michael Pineda signs for 1 year $2,100,000 contract with Yankees, avoiding arbitration.
SPRO Analysis - New York Yankees pay market value for Pineda. A little high for us due to durability issues. SPRO $1,623,000.

Hot Payroll Numbers
Actual Contracts Versus SPRO Projections
So
how do the actual contracts given out to players during the past off
season compare to our SPRO Salary Projections, both on the average and
by maximum players per position. Overall, the average salary
of
players on the rosters listed, 855 players overall, in the USA Today
Salary Database on March 31, 2014 was $3,936,922. SPRO
projections
were $3,583,053.
There has been a significant change over the past year in salary
structure, adding approximately 10% to salaries, predominantly for free
agent year players. Most of this will play out over the next
several years as national and local television contract increases
filter down to the player level.
And how does it compare now to the highest players paid per position.

We see in our site searches and are asked
from Time to Time, How is PEVA Calculated? Well, it's
complicated
and hard to explain.
While
we don't get into the pure numbers, perhaps this series of short blog
articles from several years back can give you a better view of how and
why.

Understading MLB Options
Moving
players from the Majors to the Minors can be a confusing thing for most
fans, i.e. how long can a player on the 40 man roster be moved up and
down without requiring waivers? For the most part, a player
may
be moved up and down for three seasons once they are first placed on
the 40 man roster. That is, assigned to the minors from
spring
training through the year as many times as wanted for those 3 seasons.
A little known fact, however, is the 5 minor league season
rule,
allowing a player with less than 5 FULL minor league seasons a 4th year
of options. A full minor league season is defined as a season
over 90 days long, i.e. not including short season leagues.

2015-16.
Qualifying offer now used to determine Type A Free Agents and
draft pick compensation. In first year with new system, a
$13.3
million one year offer had to be offered to player to receive pick.
