Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Disco Inferno

Byrnes and A's agree to one-year contract
Outfielder Eric Byrnes agreed Friday to a one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics and avoided salary arbitration.
...
Eligible for arbitration for the first time, he had asked for a raise from $328,000 to $2.5 million. The A's had offered $2 million.

Great to see Eric Byrnes remain with the A's, but tell me please, in how many jobs can you ask for a 762% raise and settle for 678%? The deal that avoided arbitration was for $2.2 million with various bonuses.
