For those FA enthusiasts I will just say A-Rod, Puljos and Prince Fielder. As far as David price is concerned he is an overpaid has been. His FB that used to be 95-97 MPH is now 90-93 and has been injured half of his time in Bosto Personally I am glad to see him go. As far as FA, I think the money is getting out of hand. Players should get paid for what they do not for what they did.
You're cherry picking examples here. Even so, I agree that 10+ year deals usually don't end well. In just about every job on Earth, past experience and past performance plays a huge role in determining your value to not only your employer, but yourself. In baseball, valuation is derived from taking past results and translating that into forecasted future production, with variance built in. How do you recommend valuing players if you're saying arbitration and free agency aren't currently doing it correctly?
I say give every player a base salary just for discussion lets say $2M per year then pay insentives for production. For a position player say for having a .300 BA you get $4M, 30HR $4M, 100 RBI $5M etc. Then at the end of the season if they get the gold glove give another bonus, silver slugger another bonus and MVP another bonus. The same with pitchers SP get say $5M for 200 SO, $4M for 200 innings pitched, etc. End of year Cy Young get bonus MVP bonus etc. That way they get paid for what they do. This pay can be from year one. So teams are not getting great production from a great young player for 3 years for peanuts then later some team is paying huge money for a has been.
