Team Payroll Value Index - 2009
April
14, 2009 - So how did the World Series champs fare in the Team Payroll
Value Index. Pretty well. Ranking #9 in the list,
Philadelphia is getting value for its payroll, with its players
exceeding the actual contract values, in aggregate, by 1.4%.
They
pay their players wisely, with many contracts to their top players,
i.e. Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, coming prior to high
arbitration or free agent years. While this philosophy can be
risky when emerging players stop their positive progression (for the
Phillies this case can be made with Brett Myers), it also holds out the
possibiliity of a contract like that with Rollins, who emerged with
better years after the initial contract terms and is now playing above
that level, particularly so in 2007 when he won the Most Valuable
Player Award. At $8.5 million, Rollins may be one of the
bigger
bargains in baseball, even despite a less than stellar year in 2008.
But before we pat the Phillies too heavily on their payroll backs,
remember that this index is valueing players on the Opening Day roster.
The two biggest recent mistakes are not included.
Adam
Eaton and Geoff Jenkins were released prior to opening day.
If
their salaries were included, the champs would fall significantly
further down the list.
FAQS
QUESTION - How can SPRO value Brad Lidge at only $7 million per year?
ANSWER - Lidge had a fantastic year in 2008, with no blown
saves
and a stellar push through the postseason, propelling the Phils to
their second World Series championship in club history.
However,
Lidge has not had a consistent past, and without a three year stretch
prior to the latest contract near the same level, the current contract
at $12 million for three years is a stretch from a numerical
standpoint. It is predominantly being based on a one year
stretch. If Lidge has the same season this year as last, of
course, he warrants that contract. Does Lidge deserve a $12
million salary for that season in 2008 if you're thinking on one year
terms? The answer is yes as well.
QUESTION - Why is the recently signed contract of Cole Hamels under the
SPRO value?
ANSWER - In many ways, this is the vagary of choices when a young,
first-year arbitration eligible player signs a contract that buys out
his arbitration years. In Cole's case, three of his four
arbitration years were bought out with this contract. For
many
players, this usually means a salary in year one that is above SPRO
value, almost giving a bonus to the player to sign. In this
case,
however, it may mean that the club wanted to have more payroll
flexibiliity in year one due to other contracts already on the books
(Eaton, Jenkins). The $4.35 million contract number is in
line
with other premium first year, Super Two, eligible players prior to the
Howard contract in 2008 of $10,000,000. For those reasons, at
least in Hamel's case, it is probably better suited to look at the full
contract $ and its average over the three years than focusing on year
one.

What is SPRO (Salary Projection)?
SPRO is the acronym for Stat Geek Baseball's New Salary Projection
system number that approxomates the salay a player should be paid by
their club in the current year or future years. It is available
for every player and every pitcher in baseball history through the Stat Geek Baseball Yearly or History data sets
in current year values. It is the output of 5,000 hours of
research into developing a player rating system (PEVA) that correlates
to how baseball players are compensation and projects that rating to a
salary projection taking into account baseball stats as well as Major
League Service TIme or its equivalent EXPEQ (Experience Equivalent).
SPRO does not represent our random value for what a player should
be paid or what we'd like him to be paid, but attempts to form a value
represenating how they are paid. For more information on PEVA and
the other new baseballevaluation.com Stats, see our Definitions page.
