Honestly I wish all rookie contracts earned low pay but had a lot of potential escalators and performance bonuses in them. That way if they light things up and reached a certain level they would trigger those bonuses, and if they sat on the bench for a couple seasons or so they would get paid accordingly. These contracts are only going to start getting richer and richer because the veterans aren't going to like the rookies getting more money than them.
