That's the problem, coming up with a rule that's not ultimately subjective. Because I could see a situation in which both would be a realistic outcome.
I think if we increase contract demands by 10% and stopped allowing arbitration players to sign extensions without consulting the agent would produce the results we're looking for and would be a rule that isn't subjective in the slightest. That would prevent loopholes I think. If we really wanted to make sure players were getting their fair shake to start we'd be forced into creating subjective rules, more loopholes and more opportunities to be an ass.
