If that's gaming the system, then I suspect they're the fools. Fowler's a 2 WAR player who just had a sudden career year at age 30 who relies heavily on speed to get his value. If one thinks he's a 4 WAR player going forward, well....... I think the punishment is appropriate, and I expected MLB to go easy on them. He's playing for the Cardinals now, he's going to be a 6 war player now.
