Pivetta is my most rostered pitcher --- I already hate baseball this year as these injuries are going to impact the quality of the game this year.

Same here. I figured this was the last year to buy him cheap or draft him late. I have Pivetta on all four of my teams.

So, you're saying you subtract the 2 minimum salary years before dividing the remainder of $55 million by 4 years instead of 6. OK, that's another way of looking at it.

If you are comparing against a free agent contract you'd basically remove 2 years of the deal (and minimum salary for those 2 years) and then look at typical arb prices for the 3 arb years. So only 1 actual year of free agency bought out.

I don't think it's "another" way, it's really the only way to look at it if you are comparing contracts. Otherwise it's like saying Yamamoto must not be good he didn't make very much in Japan. It's not relevant.

I just checked and he had 2 more pre-arb years left. Yeah this isn't an SP4 contract
