I'm with you there Sandy. In general FA isn't a good idea. I do think it becomes neccesary at times though, and there are some guys that slip through the cracks.
If market value is $4mil per W in FA and "True value" is around $2.5mil per W, then the closer you can get to true value in FA, the better chances the deal will work out for you. If Figgins and Harden are getting paid like arbitration players and Bay like a normal market value FA, then odds are that the Figgins/Harden deals are probably more likely to work out.
