I also almost never keep hitters around for that long after they get expensive, but I will sign good pitchers long term.

I had a method in OOTP5 that I havent yet tested in OOTP8 that kinda incorporates a moneyball theme. I always had a lot of lineup turnover b/c I would trade my players for prospects whenever they were just entering arbitration or free agency. Using this method freed up a lot of cash in my budget and allowed me to overbid for the best free agent every year, usually signed for a 1 year big money deal.
In ootp8, i have a different issue that I havent dealt with yet. I turned revenue sharing on, so, building up a huge cash reserve is nearly impossible...we'll see how i can handle it.
