Projected Arbitration Salaries For 2015

By Tim Dierkes | November 5, 2014 at 12:20am CDT

As explained in this series of posts, Matt Swartz and MLB Trade Rumors have developed an accurate model to project arbitration salaries.  We’ve heard from many MLB teams and agencies that reference the projections in their work.  You won’t find anything else like this on the Internet!  Click here to download an Excel spreadsheet with all the projected salaries.  The number in parentheses next to each player is his Major League service time (Years.Days) through 2014 (172 days constitutes a full year of Major League service, per the collective bargaining agreement).

    If Eric Young or Gerardo Parra are non-tendered, would love for the Phillies to jump on that. It probably won’t happen because they extended Sizemore though.

      I don’t see many candidates. Maybe Ryan Flaherty because you can find his type of production for below ~1M. Maybe a very outside chance of Chris Davis after a terrible season, a history of walk and strikeout issues. I don’t see that happening though.

          Matusz is for sure gone. Hunter at 4 million I would drop as well. As for De Aza I would maybe try to work out some kind of 2 year extension… similar to what we signed O’Day for a few years back.

          You could trade them for value rather then non-tender. both have solid value as relievers. Hunter has been dominate for 2 years now.

              2.97 ERA and 3.15 FIP is still pretty good. I’d keep him or trade him. Non-tendering would be a waste.

              It makes sense because David Price has already proved himself to be one of the elites in baseball, whereas Ricky P still has to prove himself. His 2014 is a very good start.

                Exactly, Porcello has been viewed as a back end starter for a large amount of his time in the majors while Price has been an ace since pretty much his rookie campaign. Porcello has never been considered an ace.

      How many seasons has Shark gotten Cy Young votes? He’s been doing it better for longer. Shark has ~7 career WAR and Price has ~23 career WAR. Seems to make sense to me.

      Price career fWAR: 24.9
      Samardjiza career fWAR: 9.9

      Even if you don’t like using WAR to evaluate pitchers that’s a huge difference that shouldn’t be ignored.

      Even the best are going to have their down years. Price had one, and will likely bounce back next season. You can count on it. That alone is why he’d be making twice as much as Shark, who I think is good, but overrated.

    5MM for Gordon Beckham seems excessive, if the Angels need to shed salary just non-tender Beckham and keep Kendrick. Both only have 1 year of team control remaining.

      They better not cut/trade Freese and stick Beckham at 3B.

      11 years ago

      It does seem excessive but they’d be shedding more with Kendrick. Plus, there’s more depth at 2B, Beckham included. It’s not like Beckham is their lone every day option there. He’s probably going to share a utility role with Green, and both will likely bounce around the IF when needed. Beckham was also their only bench player with an OPS+ over 100, but it was a small 26 game sample size. That brings up another point, as all 9 regulars had OPS+ over 100. This is an offense that specializes in balanced average or better production from all positions. So trading Kendrick and replacing him Beckham/Green doesn’t really frighten me, even with the projected $5 million in arbitration. And whatever they lose in terms of Kendrick’s production/WAR, they can off set with the pitching they acquire in return, and in additional moves, which is about all they really need this offseason.

    This is awesome. The only thing that would make it more awesome (and would take some time) is to throw in their 2014 salaries. Then you can understand what the real impact will be to a team.

    I see the Reds non-tendering both Heisey and Ondrusek at those prices. Neither is worth all that much.

    I don’t think there’s a single guy on the White Sox list I’d keep.
    I don’t know if that’s good management or bad….

      I’d keep Nate Jones, Guerra and Viciedo. I’d also keep Flowers if you don’t have any better options.

        Nate Jones is a possible keeper, but Flowers and Viciedo would only be appealing to me if I could find someone to take them in a trade.
        Guerro, truth is outside of reading his numbers, I don’t know much about.

          Outside of Russell Martin, Flowers is the most appealing catcher the ChiSox are going to be able to get.

            Evan Gattis could be available through trade.

              I guess if you’re willing to part with him. Hes an average catcher. Nothing special. Even a Carlos Ruiz would be better.

                He is a very good hitter, though, and much younger than Chooch.

    Can’t imagine the Braves pay Medlen 5.8M coming off his second TJ. I would imagine he’s non-tendered if he won’t take a pay cut.

      That’s interesting, I could see the Braves cutting him loose to save salary but I’m not sure it’s too smart. TJ surgery isn’t as damning as it once was and it wouldn’t scare me away from him if I was a GM who liked his make up. 5.8 mil is pretty cheap for a guy who has proven himself in the majors and will be 29 next season. His height (we all know the rap on small pitchers and how easily they break) and low K numbers might be negatives against him. I’m not sure how much of that you look past with Kris though. His fastball velo has always been at 90 MPH and he throws a sinker and change more often than the 4 seamer anyway. If he was a fastball/curve guy who sat at 94-95 before TJS I might be a lot more cautious about giving him 5.8 mil. Sinkerballers who use the change as their strike-out pitch just aren’t the same.

        While Medlen has been pretty good when healthy, I don’t think that carries as much weight, now that he’s had his second TJ surgery. He’s a big question mark and 5.8M is a lot to pay for a team with somewhat limited payroll.

        1st time TJ surgeries are usually successful. When it’s a players 2nd TJ, the player is usually not nearly as good as before it. Much greater likelihood of setbacks, complications, decreased velocity, etc.

    Do arb guys almost always get raises? I noticed you have AJ Ellis at a slight increase from 2014 even though he batted under .200, slugged under .300 and had an OPS+ of 68. It seems like arbitration is based mostly off of the traditional batting stats. Does defense, pitch framing, and CS% factor in at all considering how little a big bat matters at the catcher position? I wonder if Ellis’ agent will bring up how important he is as a game-planner/pitching coach since that truly is where LA values him most. I’m not sure it matters for Ellis since I can see him and LA reaching a deal before it gets that far.

      Pretty much. Service time alone creates a degree of seniority. That all changes when they hit free agency.

    So is Alex Avila actually projected to make 5.4 mil in arbitration, or is that number just there because that’s the amount of his option? Kind of confusing.

      It is also the arb projection, kind of coincidental.

    Nice work. Funny how the game has changed–I looked at some of the salaries and thought “tradeable asset”

    The five highest projected arb salaries in this list:

    1. Tigers, David Price, $18.9 M
    2. Marlins, Giancarlo Stanton, $13.0 M
    3. Tigers, Rick Porcello, $12.2 M
    4. Orioles, Chris Davis, $11.8 M
    5. Nationals, Doug Fister, $11.4 M

    If I was the Braves, I know how I could save about $19.4MM and go get me a NICE SP. I would keep just 2 guys for only $2MM. You guys do the math!

    Just saying!

    Matt:

    Reading your prior posts, you suggest that the most important numbers for a closer in their first year of arbitration is platform saves and pre-platform saves.

    How then does your model account for Jenrry Mejia getting 3.1 mil given that he does not have any pre-platform saves and recorded 28 in his platform season especially given his injury history and rough peripheral stats.
