Perhaps I would hum a different tune if I were in their shoes, but from where I sit, I am so sick and tired of young professional baseball players complaining of how much money they are making.
Look Cole, Prince, Ryan, Russell, etc., there are rules in place for how much money you are going to make. The frustration you express at your team's ownership would be much better directed at your union leaders, the ones reaping the benefits of the seniority system the union prefers to have.

Update: The Inqy's Jim Salisbury sees it pretty much the same way:
There's nothing unfair about this deal. It's not a "low blow," as Hamels so foolishly and naively called it. It is completely in line with the way the system works for players not yet eligible for salary arbitration, and, lest we forget, the players sign off on this system every time they OK a new labor agreement.
