1. Walt Davis Posted: September 09, 2022 at 03:06 PM (#6095482)This WAR achieves "a high degree of correlation with publicly available WAR metrics." For pitchers, they use a "combination" of RA9 and FIP.
Anyway, maybe it's just cuz the A's stink but I don't recall us talking much about Murphy given he's apparently the top pre-arb player.
The pool is not a big deal. It's $40 M spread around 100 players, so an average of $400 K. Probably about $4 M of that will be skimmed off the top for MVP and RoY finishers so maybe an average bonus of $360 K, about half the min salary. It's pro-rated based on a player's proportion of all WAR generated by the top 100 so ... maybe a top around $700 K and a bottom of $200?? Trout probably would have gotten $1-1.5 M in bonus.
I am slightly surprised that service time doesn't seem to enter into it at all. I'm also not sure it's a good idea for MLBPA to accept a performance-based measure and they may regret having some form of WAR "officially" recognized. No doubt WAR is already being used in arb hearings/negotiations but it's now easier to say "he's only 20% better than this guy who got $3 M in his first arb" and the "bad starter" (i.e. guys who aren't very good but were full-time anyway) category may be less lucrative. (To be fair, I'm not sure anybody but me believes the unofficial bad starter category exists.)
Nice group of young catchers. Should be fun to watch over the next decade how they all do - if any can last long enough to reach the 2000 game plateau, if any are HOF'ers. Murphy is the geezer (age 27 season), Rutschman middle (24), and Kirk the kid (23) despite having over a years service time pre-2022. (Murphy has over 2 years in the bigs). For Murphy the cash from this will be a big deal as by the time he reaches free agency he will be 'too old' for a longer term deal, especially as a catcher.
