Lol, that feeling when you see Curry wide open near the 3 point line ... followed by that feeling after you pass the ball and you realize he's on the bench.
How about giving players who are in pre-arbitration a direct cut of their merchandise sales? It would also encourage them to promote themselves more, which MLB wants.
Keeping salaries lower earlier in their careers inflates them later. If you play players more earlier, it'll only change the distribution of money, not likely the overall proportion.
