usually these arb-year deals are beneficial to both the player and the team, they are pretty common. of course the sox would make sure and talk to miggy first to ensure he'd make a deal.

The deals you're referring to are usually made before the player ever hits arbitration. At this point, simply buying out his arbitration years is pretty much -EV for Miggy because there's almost no risk. Locking up Sizemore after 1.5 years, on the other hand, is one of those "good for both sides" deals because he could fall off a cliff the next day and only pocket $750K in his career.
