Offseason Compensation Thresholds 2043-2044

[aaronweiner]

Offseason Compensation Thresholds:

Type A hitters: 3.1 WAR
Type B hitters: 1.4 WAR

Type A Starting Pitchers: 4.3 WAR
Type B Starting Pitchers: 3.1 WAR

Relievers (S2 for now): 1.0 WAR

Hmm...I assumed hitter WAR would be down this year. Looks like WAR has increased for compensation all around.

You know with the RP explosion the last few season, we may have to go back to A comp for the top guys.

@aaronweiner if you apply the formula to RP’s like you do for other players, what would comp A WAR be?

It used to be the top 10%. So that would be about 1.6 or 1.7 WAR.

If there's an exception I'd make, it's this: if a reliever qualifies as a Type A starting pitcher, we should do that as an S1.

Up until recently the idea of that was absurd.

Yeah, something like that would work.

i could get on board with this.

Ill make out this year

Someone mind helping me wrap my head around how the compensation threshold is calculated? It’s close enough that it’ll make a big difference for me. I understand it as the top 14% of players in WAR, but is it just straight total WAR for all players (separated by pitchers and position players)? The constitution said it’s divided by position so that gets me even more confused haha. If anyone can walk me through it I would appreciate it.

@recte44 @aaronweiner @RonCo I know you all are busy. I wanted to at you in case the answer is an easy one.

[aaronweiner]

It's WAR for all position players with at least one PA.

It's WAR for all pitchers with at least one G.

It's separated by SP and RP.

[jleddy]

FYI, as mentioned by Chris, the Constitution should be updated if it's not broken down by position just so everyone's on the same page.

[aaronweiner]

That is an excellent point.

Do you get a Comp Pick for a player that Opts Out (assuming they get signed before OD)?

If he meets the minimums then yes (also assuming he doesn't sign in UMEBA).

[recte44]

Need these in order to setup the draft.

Portland should get an S2 for Hector Amaral

[shoeless.db]

Sacramento gets a S1 for Cisco Morales.

[HerbD]

[RonCo]

On it.

[Jwalk100]

Hawaii should get a S2 for Manny Aguilar, Jr. (If I read this correctly)
