Amazingly, this 30 year old still has one arb year left.

Another Jarren Duran  type.  Use them , then lose them after 30

It's kind of a perfect set up for the team and something the union should work to eliminate.

The timing of free agency means so much to a good player's earning potential.

Sounds like charter schools. You know, the ones that can fire any educator any time, where tenure and unions are eliminated. Hire new college grads with their certifications, pay them bottom step (they'll be thrilled to have a first-time job with benefits), then when they start making decent wages in five years, fire them... and replace them with the next wave of college grads.

Forget about veteran experience -- get rid of those ancients before you have to pay for hip surgeries. 

The only problem with ballplayers is that Tommy John often comes knocking when they're still young.
