Those look like very good deals to me. What are the top players in your league making? Are they making $20M-plus, like in real life? And what's your total team payroll?

yeah, top salaries in the $17-20M. i run my payroll in the $70-80M range. running about 24th (2013 quickstart, no inflation except minimum wage now up to $600,000- union negotiated :-) ).
i do acknowledge it doesn't work all the time, and most time the guys get back don't want to lock early, here is my one year demand. but there is certain type who will, and if i can lock a solid player i will. for example the no.2 starter was just turned from reliever, but the results were encouraging, and he was worth the risk, and so far so good....
most other successful one are low greed guy, or guys in a slump.
but there is risk, my CF who i locked, is now regularly on the DL, and with OPS+ of 74. i might actually have to eat his last year salary. he still has great D (10/10 at all OF position) so he is my 4th OF now.
