    That makes sense.... I mean, 35% income tax + 10% Agent fee....Is it 10% in MLB? I'm pretty sure it was mandated to be 3% in the NFL (or the NBA) on the playing contract, and obviously a lot more for commercials, etc.

    Isn't Bell considered to be the better/safer pitcher at this stage? If so, are we sure that KRod even gets 3/$27 from anyone?
  3. Roderick
    If all Bell is going to get is $9M/year, this would seem to me to make it more likely that KRod accepts arby to get a bigger one year payday and then go back into free agency . Would anyone pay KRod as much as Bell for a contract? or Were the Marlins expected to get a closer? If not, maybe this removes a closer from the pool and drives up the price for the others?...

    I get the feeling that DM really likes YuBet. It would be wonderful is someone would sign him, but who realistically would?Who does Houston have to replace Barmes? If Ed Wade was still around this would seem like his type of deal.

    I believe the new CBA guarantees the contract. According to the Thursday sports section in an article by Todd Rosiak the contract would be non-guaranteed. Was the old rule, the player was guaranteed 25% or 33% if it went to arby?

    I don't see any team giving that much away for Wolf when they can sign a FA pitcher and not give away prospects (and maybe no draft pick). Maybe when the music stops and the right team loses out on their free agent bidding we could get one good prospect. But I don't think Wolf's production level is that much more than his cost. He was the best bullpen saver last season for the Brewers. 2011 Innings pitched per start: Wolf 6.43 Gallardo 6.28 Greinkie 6.11 Marcum 6.08 Narveson 5.66

    What kind of prospect would Wolf merit? His production with his contract versus a free agent pitcher who you aren't giving up a prospect (but maybe a draft pick - type A) to sign? I'm torn. I don't think we should tempt fate that the rotation stays healthy all year and keep the depth. But I would like to see a young guy transition in 2012, to save money and so that we would not have multiple rookies ever starting in the rotation at any time. But if we don't spend the money on Wolf, where does it go? I'd rather see what Gamel and Green can do rather than sign a FA, so I would want to make sure I could extend Grienke or Marcum before I trade Wolf. And I would spend some of the Wolf money on a frontloaded 2012 as part of that extension. That would allow for extra money in future budgets and extra money at the trading deadline if needed. I would also try to ship some money with Wolf to get a better prospect in a trade, under the scenario where we don't sign a big FA.

    Pretty sure state tax is based on you state you live in not the state you work, but I'm not 100% sure. I think if Reyes lives in FL but works in WI he would pay WI state tax, but then receive an offsetting tax credit from FL that would make his tax line up with what he would have paid living and working in FL.Wisconsin resident plays games in Florida. Pays no state income taxes in Florida for those games, pays state income taxes to Wisconsin for those games. Florida resident plays games in Florida, pays no state income taxes at all. So I just assume every agent has their player has set up their permanent residence in Florida, Texas, Nevada to save as much as possible on state income taxes. In your scenario, there is no state income tax in Florida to apply the credit for taxes paid in Wisconsin to. Major leaguers have probably around 15+ states on their W2 prorating their earnings by the number of games played in that state. They then have to file tax returns in all those states that have taxes and don't have reciprocity agreements.

    Doesn't hurt that there is no state income tax for at least 81 games a year. Using Wisconsin's top tax rate of 7.75%, means that the Brewers would have to pay him at least 3.9% more just to be the same net return for Reyes. $100 million Marlins = $104 million Brewers.

    see how Maldanado works out. If they feel he's ready with the bat - they'll trade kottaras. Someone would probably want him. Didn't the Brewers expose him for free this last season while he was at minimum wage and no team took him? This year he will be first-year-arby priced if the Brewers accept that.
  13. Roderick
    I know the difference is "only" $400K, but ideally they make their decision on Kottaras before they arby settle at ~ $800K.
  14. Roderick
    Is there any stats on runners going from first to third on hits to RF? I would say that more and more players are taking their privileges on Hart. If the arm isn't the problem, then it must be because they know he won't/can't run full speed at the ball on the pickup to hold them at 2nd.
  15. Roderick
    I'm pretty sure that teams send over buyout money regardless if the team actually buys out a player. So that is all part of the big picture of the finances already. So I wouldn't say that if we offer arby and KRod and he gets $13M that he only really cost us $9M, I would say he actually cost us $13M.
  16. Roderick
    Tack on another adjective to useful: inexpensive. The Brewers need to have one or two prearby players come up and produce annually to offset the proven high-cost veterans.

    They would be better in the near-term, but if they overpay on years or money he could hamstring them for quite a bit on the back end - so it wouldn't be the worst thing for him to end up in the NL. Just hoping for an upper division team so the comp pick is a first rounder.

    Possibly to protect Boras' reputation for always taking his clients to the open market. Not that I believe it for a second, but throwing out reasons for a wait. If Prince was giving a steep hometown discount, to appease the players union and announce later so that his signing doesn't adversely effect Pujols free agency?....

    Ideally, they'd have 2 of the 5 rotation spots filled by cheap (not necessarily worse) guys. Wolf and Marcum combined figure to make over $16 million (up from around $13 million this year) next season. That's a huge investment for a 3rd and 4th starter for a small market team. A lot of people argued much of the year that Marcum was a number 2. I think his playoff performance was a reality check. At best he's a 3 (all 3's can pitch like 2's at times). I'm also worried that Greinke is more a 3 than a 2 also, and they are paying him nearly ace money.Replacing Marcum & Wolf with Fiers and Peralta would save money. It would also significantly reduce our chances of making the playoffs. Not to reply for JBriggs, but I assume he meant you trade only one of Marcum/Wolf. You would retain Narveson - hence two cheap pitchers out of five. Which was the point I was trying to make earlier. Instead of trading Narveson, I would go with Marcum/Wolf - unless the piece of the puzzle that we are getting back is also a starting position player that is also pre-arby. We need to try to acquire/keep as many pre-arby guys as possible.
  21. Roderick
    That also means that all those teams will be looking to replace their guy. If I was him and I thought I was healthy and I was just looking for the most money, I would take the Brewers arby offer (buy insurance) and go for a multiyear contract the next year - as I think that is the route to the most money over the years. But, it sounds like KRod wants to pile up his lifetime save stats, which means he would probably take less money on the long run to be sure to be the closer every year - so I would offer him arby if I was the Brewers.
  22. Roderick
    I'm somewhat fearful that as long as Melvin and company are in "win now" mode, they won't allow any rookies to play a meaningful role on the team. Peralta won't be in the rotation unless there are multiple injuries or trades in the off season. Fiers though will probably get a shot at the #5 against Narveson. Narveson may actually be the one who gets traded this off season. I agree that they should try to get a rookie in the rotation this year, so we aren't putting two rookie starters in 2013. But this is the exact opposite of what this club needs to do. Narveson is only $500K for 2012 and arby for 3 more years after that. The Brewers are not the Yankees and this is exactly the type of player they need to have to offset the larger contracts. If we trade away someone that is cheap and under control, like Narveson, then we better get a similarly priced player back in return (shortstop?). I would explore what Marcum or Wolf would bring in a trade, but would not trade away for less than fair value. Which might mean that Peralta/Fiers are in AAA until an injury.

    It's going to cost them more like $38 million for the same 5 starters that they paid roughly $33 million to this year. They really need to get the total for starting pitching back down to $30 million. Marcum figures to get a $3 million raise and$38 million? I get less. Grienke $13.5 Wolf $9.5 Marcum $6.8 (arby guess) Gallardo $5.5 Narveson $.5 When I said all the same, I meant the same players - not the same cost.
  24. Roderick
    so I think $85MM could be low, especially since Attanasio said the Brewers payroll this year (after Hairston and K-Rod) was around $95MM. I don't see much wiggle room myself, if I did the numbers right. We would be close to $90M before shortstop costs. I would assume that Melvin would want to start the year around $90M and have room to trade for dollars if the Brewers are in it. $35.7M for starting pitching (all the same) $10.0M for relievers (assume a couple of free agent grizzled vet(s)) $10.0M Weeks, $9.0 Hart, $8.5M Braun (inc. prorated signing bonus), $2.8MMcGehee, $6M Gomez+Morgan+Hairston, $2.2M Lucroy+Gamel+Green+backupIF+backupC $4.0M KRod buyout $1.6M Sept and injury callups
  25. Roderick
    Wasn't sure if his health was going to impede the Brewers offering him arby. But yes there are quite a few pitchers on the 40 man roster that could end up in the pen for 2012.
