In real life, per the MLBPA collective bargaining agreement, the following factors can be considered in arbitration:

a) The quality of the Player’s contribution to his Club during the past season (including but not limited to his overall performance, special qualities of leadership and public appeal)
(b) the length and consistency of his career contribution
(b) the record of the Player’s past compensation
(c) comparative baseball salaries
(d) the existence of any physical or mental defects on the part of the Player
(e) the recent performance record of the Club including but not limited to its League standing and attendance as an indication of public acceptance (but not the financial position of the Player or the Club)

So I wonder if popularity and some personality factors are factored into arbitration in OOTP?
