Like Buane said, it seems like the problem is that some factor in the free agents' logic is telling them to demand exorbitant sums of money.
In real life, there are players who will sit out rather than take an offer for less than they're worth but that almost always happens with veterans who would like to play with a certain number of teams or get paid a good deal of money to keep playing like Derrek Lee or Roy Oswalt. We're actually dealing with players who are in some of their prime years who are retiring because nobody wants to come close to their ridiculous demands.
