Pierce is home grown. You are getting a discount. Would get the same discount if the player wasn't drafted by your club, but joined when he was young and did his development with your team.

When a player gets released from the team that developed him, he gets a bump in salary. He also follows a different track in terms of salary increases. Guys like Daniel often seem to make a big correction the first off-season with their non home club.

@Seca Homegrown vs. Free Agent make a lot of sense, I hadn't considered that aspect.

As far as getting ready to pay Michael, I was ready for the explosion this season.

I have not figured out how salaries are figured in the year+ I've been here but I suspect at bats and innings pitched may have a bigger impact than actual performance.
As far as Fischer goes, I am wondering if my relegation had an impact, and conversely, promotion would likely impact as well. I had Velez go from 5 million plus to 3 million plus as well, so I had a couple of large salaried acquisitions drop significantly this spring.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that home grown pitchers have a discount. Thx for the explanation Seca.

On a side note - remember the 9 million dollar third baseman? He's a 13 million dollar third baseman now ;)

In league level 5/6? What kind of a fool picks up a player with that big of a contract at that low a level? I bet his finances are severely in the red unless the rest of his players are $0.5mil rookies.

Top 3 position players make over 25 M combined. Which is more than all my position players combined. Geez.

But it looks like signing a bunch of free agents is bad for business.

I guess the Dan Snyder philosophy doesn't work in Broken Bat either :)

Well he did promote. 119 wins and 8 runs a game. Those guys paid off against division six pitching. One guy had 175 rbi's.

Whatever he was doing wasn't working. Started in D3 and steadily dropped. Maybe this was a last ditch effort.

I do still think Dan Snyder would mess up an Arena 2 league team ;)
