O' Miggy!

Miguel Cabrera's new deal reminiscent of another slugger's deal - CBSSports.com

Miggy's contract very similar to Big Alberts and I am sure the Angels would have told the Tigers to save themselves $100 million and only sign a 6 year deal!

I would rather pay him $35 million a year for 6 years than go all in on a 10 year deal.

Thoughts?

I've wondered about this before. Am I better off paying more for a good player now in order to shorten his contract or paying less for a longer contract? If I pay more now, I won't have as much money for other players on my team. If I pay less now, I run the risk of having a useless player on my roster down the road. I have always had more success in OOTP doing the former, but it seems like real life GMs often do the latter. I wonder if it has to do with salary inflation and the idea that the ten year contract won't really be that high comparative to other contracts in ten years.

I think it has more to do with the fact that RL players are seeking a longer term and will take a little bit less AAV to get it. OOTP players perhaps (?) just look at the AAV.

More confidence in the longevity of Miggy with his team and situation.
