1) The current RP Arb Scale is producing salaries which are considerably above market value.
The current scale overvalues holds whilst taking no considerion for the how they are distributed across pitchers, overvalues ERA and WHIP, and makes no distinction between an RP that pitches 30 innings and a RP that pitches 70 innings.
2) The complete proposed replacement Pitching Arb scale is shown here:
16-17 Wins = $1.0 million
18-19 Wins = $2.0 million
20-21 Wins = $3.0 million
22+ Wins = $4.0 million
12-17 Holds = $0.5 million
18-23 Holds = $1.0 million
24-29 Holds = $1.6 million
30-35 Holds = $2.3 million
36+ Holds = $3.0 million
10-19 SV = $1.0 million
20-29 SV = $2.0 million
30-39 SV = $3.0 million
40-49 SV = $4.0 million
50+ SV = $5.0 million
SP: ERA, WHIP and K Scale for any SP who has 50 IP or more in the season.
3.00-3.39 ERA = $1.0 million
2.50-2.99 ERA = $2.0 million
2.00-2.49 ERA = $3.0 million
1.99-0.00 ERA = $4.0 million
1.20-1.29 WHIP = $1.0 million
1.10-1.19 WHIP = $2.0 million
1.00-1.09 WHIP = $3.0 million
0.99- WHIP = $4.0 million
170-179 K = $1.0 million
180-189 K = $2.0 million
190-199 K = $3.0 million
200+ K = $4.0 million
Pitchers: ERA, WHIP and K Scale for any RP (less than 5 starts) or SP who has less then 50 IP in the season
2.50-2.99 ERA = $0.4 million
2.00-2.49 ERA = $0.7 million
1.50-1.99 ERA = $1.0 million
0.00-1.49 ERA = $1.4 million
1.10-1.19 WHIP = $0.4 million
1.00-1.09 WHIP = $0.7 million
0.90-0.99 WHIP = $1.0 million
0.00-0.89 WHIP = $1.4 million
50-59 K = $0.4 million
60-69 K = $0.6 million
70-79 K = $0.8 million
80-89 K = $1.0 million
90+ K = $1.2 million
The proposed ERA and WHIP scales focus on rewarding relief pitching which has actual value - a reliever giving you an ERA north of 3 isn't really helping you very much, and would be easily replaceable.
The addition of an RP strikeout scale helps to add more salary to relief pitchers who pitch a lot of innings (and are therefore more valuable).
Having performed some testing on the proposed scale the results show that an elite guy (like Craig Kimbrel) will remain largely unaffected. The nearly-elite holds guys (like Mark Melancon or Joel Peralta) have their salaries dropped by around 20%. Guys that put up very good (but likely unsustainable) ratios with light contributions in saves or holds (like Tommy Hunter) can find (much needed) salary drops of over 40%.
Turbanator and I have had a lot of discussion on how the scale should be formed, and this is our best proposal. It seems to bring relief pitcher salaries close to what we consider to be market value. A lot of the RP arb salaries are way out of proportion to other positions in the six rosters I've updated, and I think that this does a good job of reversing that whilst still giving good salaries to those players who have performed and earnt it.
1) keep the pitching arb scale as it is
2) change the pitching arb scale to reduce the salary of RPs
The current scale overvalues holds whilst taking no considerion for the how they are distributed across pitchers, overvalues ERA and WHIP, and makes no distinction between an RP that pitches 30 innings and a RP that pitches 70 innings.
