    Wow, thanks for sharing. That's pretty impressive.

    If Homer Bailey gets his 6 years 100 million that's be tossed around then Teheran is way worth this contract.

    Bailey is one year from free agency and Teheran is 5. Players with less service time give a discount for guaranteed money.

    The 2 aren't similar situations.... at all.

    Why does service time matter? What you're are saying is that if two pitchers can put up similar numbers the pitcher with less time til free agency should get substantially more money...where's the logic in that?

    I didn't say they were similar situations. I just said that if Bailey can get 6 years 100 million right now, Teheran is way worth this contract.

    Because someone as far away from free agency like Teheran has their prices limited pretty hard. If we just went with JT from year to year then he would be forced to make league minimum these next two years. And then he would go to arbitration and likely make 5 million. Then that would price go up somewhat in his second arbitration year and then even more in his 3rd and final arbitration year before free agency. Why pay JT market value of 15-18 million a year when there is no way he's going to make more then league minimum the next two years if he didn't sign a deal? That's why deals for guys like JT are smaller in value. If JT was a year or two away from FA he would not be signing for 6/32.

    Ummm...they didn't pay JT market value of 15-18 mil...that was my point.

    I think you're saying that from a pure value standpoint, Teheran is a much bigger bargain. I agree with you 100%, but that's to be expected because he doesn't have the service time. Still a bargain, though.

    Because he is 5 years from free agency. And I explained to you why. You are the one who said you don't see the logic in someone closer to FA getting more money.

    That's because it wasn't logic...it is something that is done because that's how it has always been done, but I think the Braves are showing they are willing to go against what has been done in the past (which made no sense) to try and keep the team competitive. That means taking on a little more risk by signing their players with less service time for relatively below market value of their projected production.

    But there is a very clear logic, and this is it: A player, under most normal circumstances, must play six years to reach free-agent status; as said player approaches free-agent status, he has thus played more seasons, providing more data about the productive quality of said player. This qualitative data is quantified by the team hoping to contractually extend said player, in terms of dollars as well as years, and with more robust qualitative data comes more certainty comes more dollars and years.

    Players nearer their first free-agency being paid more than players farther from it isn't just some strange convention rooted in the perfunctory ignorance of the past; there's a fairly transparent cost/benefit reasoning at play.

    Actually that happens all the time. Players a few years away from free agency will sign for under market value for guaranteed money.
