This is still off base...what there should be (if I were coding, and knew how to code anything more substantial than an Excel spreadsheet) is, next to the offer arbitration button, a button for "offer compensation tender", which would be an offer of the average of the top 125 salaries in major league baseball the previous season (for the 2012-2013 offseason, this will likely be a one-year tender at approximately 12.4 million). Obviously, there is the danger that that tender would be accepted, but if not, whoever signed the player would lose a compensation-eligible pick, and the team losing the player would accept him. (this also only would apply if the player has been in that organization the entire season)
I can't tell, by the way...was the signing cap implemented in the new patch?
