That's not how the system works, though, as there's things like pre-arbitration and arbitration. The system is that for a free agent of McCutchen's experience and production, 8.5 mil for 1 year is right around market value, maybe a little higher. Either way, McCutchen is not one of our problems right now, so I don't quite get why @brewers888 decided to highlight him in the context of Hiura.
Keston was absolutely horrendous in June. In July, he's been hot, but that's in a lot fewer at-bats than McCutchen.
