<!--quoteo(post=73614:date=Dec 31 2009, 01:47 PM:name=Butcher)-->QUOTE (Butcher @ Dec 31 2009, 01:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Also, you're paying more for a player as his skills (usually) decline. This makes them hard to unload, if necessary.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


But if that is the case, it still doesn't hurt. Let's take Byrd for example. Let's say he completely sucks ass in 2012. The Cubs can pay 1.5 million dollars to deal him ( 1.5 million dollars in 2012 dollars, I might add), and they would be no worse off whatsoever than if they were paying him 5 million a year instead.

Even if you are PLANNING to ditch a guy in his 3rd year, backloading would still take a bite out of that.
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
