Baseball Evaluation
and Salary Projections
The salary
projections from baseballevaluation.com are the result of over 5,000
hours of research into how baseball statistics and our PEVA
player ratings correlate to payroll, and
the results in the Salary Projection model are meant to mirror how
baseball pays its players. Buy the 2010 Free Agent Tracker
and see
just what we're talking about.

February 2011 Signings |
Free Agent Headline
Chad Durbin signs 1 year $800,000 contract with Toronto, including $1m in additional incentives.
SPRO Analysis
Indians
get bargain in Durbin. Durbin has been solid, if not spectacular,
over the past four years, and we think deserves a deal for a better
guaranteed number. SPRO value for 2011, $1,994,000.
Free Agent Headline
Scott Podsednik signs 1 year $1,000,000 Minor League deal contract with Toronto.
SPRO Analysis
Blue
Jays get bargain in Podsednik. Yes, Scott overplayed his hands
and waited too long to sign, but he's a much better player than this.
He gives you speed and a veteran prescence, plus a pretty
consistent stat line over the last couple years after a couple down
ones. SPRO projection, if he plays regularly, $4,199,000 in 2011.
Free Agent Headline
Vladimir Guerrero signs 1 year $8,000,000 contract with Baltimore.
SPRO Analysis
Orioles
pay market value for Guerrero. In fact, it's a slight bargain
with SPRO projecting value at $9,054,000. But Vlad did look old
in the World Series, especially in the field. However, he's a
professional hitter and something the O's need a lot of, are
professional baseball players. Vlad is certainly one of those.
Free Agent Headline
Justin Duchscherer signs 1
year $700,000 contract, which bumps up to $1.1m if on 25 man opening
day roster. Includes incentives that could make contract reach
$4.5m total.
SPRO Analysis
Orioles
get bargain in Duchscherer. It's a bargain with risk, we
know, but two years ago, he had 10 wins, and last year he came back to
pitch well, even though it was only 28 innings. SPRO projection,
including incentives, $2,900,000.
Free Agent Headline
Ron Belliard signs 1 year $825,000 minor league deal with New York Yankees.
SPRO Analysis
Yankees
get bargain in Belliard. Sure, last year wasn't great, but the
years before show indication of providing a solid bench player, and the
Yanks usually spend a whole lot of money for anything. SPRO says
$1,389,000 in 2011.

Free Agent Headline
Mark Kotsay signs 1 year $800,000 contract with Milwaukee with $450,000 incentives.
SPRO Analysis
Brewers
get bargain in Kotsay. Solid bench bat with some ability left at
35 years old. Will likely earn some of those incentives, even
though his 2010 season was down from years past. SPRO projection,
including incentives $1,625,000.
