Arb Salaries Discussion 1

This thread is to discuss replacing the current arb scale with a more flexible method which, instead of offering static limits, moves the bandings for each category each year depending on relative league performance. For example, rather than specifying a $4.0 arb addition for 50+ HRs we will instead award a $4.0 arb addition to the top 5 HR hitters of the previous year - regardless of the number of HR hit.
This would require calculation and publication of bandings each year (which is simpler than it sounds and I volunteer to perform), but gives us a long term flexible solution which adapts to the changing scoring environments baseball encounters.
The scale proposed (for pre-multiplier calculations) is as follows - accompanying the proposal is a copy of what those bandings would have returned for 2015 arb calculations considering 2014 performances:
