personal preference...

e.g.

i consider it to be 6 in one hand half dozen the other, so why do it. it stays proportional. the rich are still rich, the poor are still poor and the ramifications are roughly the same no matter how many zeros you place in the minimum salary - to - max salary value.

whether the max contract is 2.50 or 25,000,000, it's the same in scale from the big picture view. (supply/demand keeps budgets in scale etc etc)

if it adds difficulty, it's due to a lack of understanding of TVM. when you account for it, it's still all the same with a different wrapper each year.

on the other hand, it is more realistic.

if i were to try to model it, i'd look over salary increases since FA... i may even ignore first decade or so of FA, depending on if i see a drastich shift occuring.

i look for min and max % increases. then setup some rand a% - to b% each year. or use an average etc etc...

since it will be in the future, it's really upto you what happens to salaries. as you saw this offseason, collusion is alive and well in the MLB and always has been.
