Ready to get started? Here are a few tips on how best to utilize this dataset: - Examine the Total Value column first since it is often a key indicator in determining a player's worth; - Look at previous years’ salaries by team for comparision purposes;
- Factor in performance metrics like OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage), ERA (earned run average), WHIP (walks + hits/innings pitched), FIP (fielding independent pitching); - Take into account intangibles such as fan interest/popularity; - Utilize averages across different positions and teams – are certain players way underpaid compared his peers? Conversely are certain overpaid compared his peers? Finding these mismatches could potentially create an arbitrage opportunity if a trade were made.
