WAR and Projections vs. Salary

By Tangotiger, 10:20 PM

Rally’s turn to do his study.

It sounds to me like what we are saying is that we can forecast future salaries, but we are optimistic on the WAR and therefore conservative on the $ per WAR.  Overall, $ per WAR, times WAR, gives us the $ that we expect.  I can kind of buy that.

So, if you want to say that my 4MM$ per win is based on the certain way I do my forecasts, I can live with that.
