Team Payroll Value Index - 2010
April
19, 2009 - So how did the World Series runner ups make out this year in
the Team Payroll
Value Index. Not too shabby at all, and that's pretty hard to do
when the numbers start to rise and free agency comes up for players
who've had a lot of national exposure.
They actually moved up one spot to #8 on the list of best value teams
in 2010, getting 4.3% more value for their money than the actual
payroll they spend.
How's that possible? Well, it actually comes for a couple reasons.
1) Roy Halladay. In that a bit of an odd swap of Cy Young
hurlers, the Cliff Lee for Roy Halladay move can be looked at in a
couple ways. Sure, on the field, there may have been a slight
upgrade (perhaps more than that if Lee is injured for long), but in the
area of salary value it's likely a sideways move. Both players
were being paid under their value in 2010, with Halladay worth a number
of million dollars more than the actual $15,750,000 he's being paid.
Add in the fact that Philadelphia got some millions back from
Toronto in the swap, and that's a win win for Philly.
2) Buying out players early. Now this can be a dangerous move if
you get it wrong, but in Philadelphia's case, they are reaping some
good rewards on a couple fronts. The first is still Jimmy
Rollins. Signed years back to a contract prior to his MVP season,
Rollins is being paid $8.5 million dollars in 2010 while his value has
risen to $12 million. And while some in Philadelphia love his
defense, go go attitude, and overall fine play, and others question
that OBP, there's no denying that over the last couple years, Rollins
has been one of the best bargains in baseball.
It's not as large an example, but it does prove the same point.
When Jason Werth became a productive player, after years of
injury and doubt whether he would maximize all that talent, Pat Gillick
not only too the chance and sign him to play, but he gave out a couple
year contract that now looks very good in hindsight. I'm sure
there's those in the Philly front office that wish they'd extended him
a little longer, because he'll become a free agent after this season
and they might lose him, but for 2010, that $7,500,000 salary looks
pretty good for what might be a 30 HR, 100 RBI man with good defense
and speed to boot.
3) The Phillies don't overpay for the mid-level player. And
that's the key to payroll value. Sure, you're going to have to
pay Chase Utley and Ryan Howard well, sometimes even better than you'd
like. But there's no need to break the bank for Shane Victorino
or Carlos Ruiz or Joe Blanton. They're good players and should be
compensated well, but there are some franchises who would have thought
Blanton was a $10-12 million player, not an $8 million player.
Those couple million dollars can make a big difference.
FAQS
2009 QUESTION FOLLOWUP - 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.
FOLLOWUP ANSWER - There's no need to say I told you so, because this is
not what we, as Philly fans, wanted. But Salary Projection and
Value is not just tied to the last great season, but should be valued
over a three to four year timespan. Lidge was always a good year,
bad year, type of pitcher. Lots of talent, but a tendency to
struggle with mechanics and get out of sync. We're hopeful he
rebounds in 2010, and think he just might, but Lidge was not a $12
million every year closer even after the 2008 season. I wish we could say he was.

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.
