Personally I think arbitration on the Type A and B guys should be done before free agency opens. The way it is right now, a GM can basically just wait until a bid has already been posted and then say they agree to the arbitration.
That is like the GM saying "yes, I'd like a free draft pick".
By doing arbitration before free agency opens it makes the GM consider whether they actually want the player or not.
