Admittedly, however, I'm not too familiar with how much weight the arbitration process gives to earlier seasons, and so perhaps it's not particularly relevant.

As I said in my post cost going forward does matter.
I just don't think that just because the Reds had patience while Bailey "struggled" the Reds should let that influence whether or not to keep him.
