Depends on player personalities, if on. Certain players will go for long term contracts while still arb eligible. Most, however, will only take 2 or 3 years at significant dollars over market value. The best time to sign a player seems to be when they are in the 5th year but not completing 6 years in the current season. At that point you can bargain hard knowing that you get them for one more year on arbitration.
This, IMO, is more realistic than previous versions. Players don't sign readily when arbitration eligible. This often forces you to trade one or two players that want too much $$.
