Is an improvement, but honestly I think they should stop making it so complicated and just set the luxury tax to the value that the team is actually paying the player in that year.

That would give teams a lot of ways to work around the LT. For example, the Yankees could have paid all their free agents 5 million this year and defer the rest to other years which have given them about 20 million more spend this year and still stay under the LT. That would hurt them the next couple of years but they would be paying a lower tax (17% instead of 50%)
With computers and smart accountants, I doubt teams find the LT system so complicated. For the average fan, yes it is, especially because none of the blogs bothers to calculate it for us, at least not for all teams.

I can’t wait to see an infield of Davidson at 3B, Anderson SS, Johnson 2B and Abreu at 1B. Now Hahn needs to find that “catcher of the future”.

Too bad Peter Moylan. Was hoping for a big year buddy. Speedy recovery.
