can't believe grabow didn't make it

I can't remember, is it last 3 years or last 2 years?

 

Stupid down season for Aramis carrying him down to B range.

If the Cubs decline the option on Aramis can they offer him arbitration and still get compensation? It seems like a safe move to me assuming he wants a multi-year deal this offseason. I had read some speculation that any trade would require the trading team to turn down his option so that he can be a FA. If he gets to type A it seems like a slam dunk to me.
