I'd have to agree. Closers are generally way overpaid in the game. While Starters are really vastly underpaid on average. It kind of works out that way, but really encourages people to play without a Closer. I think the Closer role is valuable enough that I'm willing to pay their crazy extortion money

And it gets stupider, too. All Star Vélez got a 500k raise, while Wilkins, who was already above the minimum salary, got an extra 950k for hitting 23 homers, while Rowe had a very late season surge to make his stats look good and got 800k. God knows what algorithm would pay more for a .258 hitter than a All-Star with 52 SBs

Worked really well. Now I just don't have a closer, and spread it out among my various arms. I had one guy with 19, another with 10, several with 3-5. I'm still more likely to allot saves to guys who I know will leave next year though. Updated Wednesday, April 21 2021 @ 11:37:17 am PDT

The higher you get in league level, the higher your franchise fees, and the more money players demand. To make matters worse, players look at the last three seasons (I think) to determine what they should be getting paid. That's why it can be financially damaging for a high level team to sign on a player from a low level club. A guy with a 1000 OPS in LL-VI, might only have a 700 OPS in LL-II, but they will expect the LL-II salary of a guy hitting 1000 OPS.

I assume because he needs to cover health insurance premiums after playing 151 of 160 games last season? Updated Friday, July 16 2021 @ 7:11:12 am PDT Updated Friday, July 16 2021 @ 7:12:07 am PDT
