I hear what you're saying about too many players accepting arbitration. I have also seen that issue. In an ideal situation, I would like it to be like the big leagues, where you have a tough decision arbitration wise (although decisions that make sense, not something where a stud will accept arbitration). Plus, I wouldn't mind if my high end bullpen guy accepted arbitration. At least I get him back next season.
So basically what you're saying is that there are actually two glitches here. 1) There are not enough Type A/B players and 2) the type A/B players do not accept arbitration often enough.
FYI: I just want some compensation for relief pitchers. Yesterday I had a 35 save guy, 3.95 ERA go without any compensation (he had an even better year the season before). I am now pretty convinced that getting a type A relief pitcher almost never happens and only the really top line guys get type B.
Plus I checked and I am pretty sure that no other positions are over-represented to make up for the under-represented positions.
