Craptacular! posted:Given the lack of FA activity and the trend among teams to lock up franchise players for many years, I'm kind of curious why some teams continue to do the ~5 year "earn your way up" routine with certain players who have incredible talent. I get that you can take advantage of how underpaid rookies are relative to veterans to get a great player on the cheap, and then have to cough up huge amounts of money to buy FA years out in an extension later. It seems like it would be beneficial to give these 'kids' a payday now in exchange for more years down the road. No GM/Owner likes breaking pre-arb years. They completely re-wrote a provision of the CBA due to Strasbourg/Harper getting immediately put on the 40 man/major league contracts as a part of their draft deals.
