You've inspired me to try this. But I'm going to allow the payroll to vary, based on a 3-year rolling average of wins. If it's 90 or over, I will allow myself 110% of the average team payroll for the previous season. If it's 70 or under I will allow myself 70% of said average. And I will interpolate if it's in the middle.

This is consistent with the history of the Pirates in recent years, they drew well when the team was contending. And this has been true at least since the late 50's when the team finally began to snap out of the doldrums of the postwar years.
