I think Lincy could have went higher. Maybe around $18M. IMO, he is ripping himself off.

Well he doesn't want to lose, that 8 million is too low though.
I would have probably asked for 15
BOOM!
He could've gotten a lot more than 13. He definitely wins.

The general rule of thumb is that players get 40% of free agent value in their first year of arbitration. This isn't a standard case, but if you figure that he might be worth around $25-30m/year on the free agent market - then $13m is probably about right or maybe a little high. Like the others, I think that he'll settle for somewhere between $10 and $12m.

Say I was in the majors on a team that I enjoyed and was worth like 10-15 mil a year. The team was on the verge of a serious playoff/ws run. Knowing they couldnt pay me and bring in a few pieces for this run. Could I sign for like 5 mil or so to keep me with the team and give them a chance to bring in some more tallent? Or are there rules against going for much less?
I never hear of stuff like this in baseball.
Any examples?
Yeah, I'm from Pittsburgh. I love both our sports teams.

Players can sign for whatever they like.

IMO, Lincecum didn't ask for enough. He probably could have gotten in the 15-17 million range.

I think the Giants lowballed the offer too though

Giants lowballed the **** out of it. Lincecum wins easily.

they can, but due to massive pressure from the union to get every penny they can, players are strong armed into not trying to sign team friendly discounts.

Either way he'll be able to buy alot of pot....
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
