I've never had a problem with letting them go all 3 arb years. It doesn't seem to matter to them.

On a side note, a lot of times you can buy out 2+ years of their free agency for quite cheap. Personally I believe it to be a cheat. I got a superstar pitcher signed for 6 years before his 2nd arb contract for average 6 million a year... he was 26. By the time he was ready to be signed again he was 32 and beginning to decline. Nobody agreed that was a "bug".

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
