But it's not this year for safeties, it would seem. The MLB hit its bump in the road, too. No "market" can keep going up forever, and the concept itself is entirely arbitrary, abstract and groundless to begin with, IMO.

There is something going on that is out of the ordinary with the market that is an anomaly and people, like you, are paying attention and noticing it and likely get it that some static analysis of the past does not apply this year to the safety market. And it is in that context that I commented on the Joyner deal. Maybe Snead and McVay and Demoff misread some things, I don't know. I will be curious to see the franchise number for safeties next year if the current conditions continue, it could actually drop, same with the transition tag. Or may stay close to the same which would be unusual.
