Braves should have won Ethier instead of Ichiro. Bid $15M on Ethier (and he was higher on the priority list than Ichiro).

Changes made to reflect Braves winning Ethier. Multiple teams were effected, so please take a second look

I take it the winning bid is based on the highest bid for a single year seeing as I offered more for both Upton and Ethier but over longer contracts.

AAS is a pain. I offer longer contracts on Upton and Byrd and more money, and I still lose them.

I go back and forth on whether AAS or Total Contract Value should rule. In my mind, because owners are allowed to release a guy and only pay 1/2 of the contract really diminishes the Total Contract value argument. If it was all "guaranteed" like in real life I'd probably feel differently.

If we go by real MLB contracts then we should go by total money offered. If team A is offering 1 year 15M deal and team B is offering 6 year 60M, I think the player should go to team B. I think in real life every player will take a 60M deal.
But I do like 50% cap hit if a team releases a player.

there are certainly examples where a player would take the longer contract at a lesser value. but there are also plenty of examples where for instance a player would never take 12m over two year (6M per) vs 10m over 1 year.
neither method is perfect, but in practice you end up with a lot of lower AAS contracts at long length if you use total value (esp because of the 1/2 price waivers) and the end result is a lot more unrealistically low contracts than if you use AAS which at least keeps salaries closer to normal. if we wanted something that matched real life more, we could make an even more complicated system (for instance we could require longer years at lower dollar amounts), but in this situation where neither method is perfect and we don't want things to get too complicated - between AAS and total contract - AAS is the far lesser of two evils.

I see your point Tim. Maybe changing maximum salary for 1 year contract.
I wasn't close to any of my bids anyway.

Trust us, this was a rule hashed out long ago. Would you take 2 years $16M or one year $15M? In a fantasy world where there are no agents, or real people making decisions to sign places for anything other than money, average annual salary is the best option we have.
