Effective Salary?

August 27, 2015 at 04:22PM View BBCode

I was wondering about how effective salary works. Example another team offered 5 million for 1 year = 5.17 effective salary.
I offered 5 million for 4 years, which I think is better but it = a 5.07 effective salary. Is it better to offer higher salaries at shorter years?

It has to do with your team prestige, the player's leadership grade, the length of the contract, etc.

Prestige is based on a 5 year rolling average of your team record, and gets bumps for playoff successes.

Leadership affects effective salary when re-signing with the team he was on. C or lower should be ignored as a factor.

Ignoring those two, you can click the link Mark posted to see that 1 year deals are neutral, and signing into decline has a bonus applied.

When you are new to these leagues, my suggestions are as follows:

-draft well and draft young since you get max CPs here on all farm hands.

-overpay on one year deals for the guys you want. Try to win and fix your prestige.

-selectively deal said one year guys for picks and prospects as you go, since you probably won't contend for a bit.

-**Overpaying for one year deals makes the player much easier to trade and less damaging to your team than paying someone to take your overpayment on a multi year deal. As a contender, I'lll take a spendy ace for the rest of a season, but won't touch someone's 8 mil catcher on a 7 year deal.

-agree to trade for bad contracts that are 1-2 years in length, acquiring draft picks or prospects to deal with other teams' problems.

-as you load up on good prospects and your prestige goes up, now you can begin to offer fair market or below market long term deals, hoping to get lucky. For instance, you might make a six year offer on a A- OS29 player at a low salary and maybe land the player.

-mixing in favorable deals with a rich farm club makes it easier to contend. Either your prospects are ready to fill out your major league club with the cheap vets, or you can deal the prospects if you are contending, and then make a title run.

-once you are a top team, you can bid say 10 mil on an ace when most other teams are bidding 11 mil, and win it. That saves enough money to sign two half mil vets for the end of your bench.
